a replacment for cake flour?

Question

I'm baking an angle food cake for my mom for mother's day, i don't have any cake flour, what can i use instead?

Answer 1

Make your own - one cup sifted cake flour can be substituted with 3/4 cup (84 grams) sifted bleached all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons (15 grams) cornstarch.

Answer 2

Cake flour is made with soft wheat, producing less gluten when mixed, so your cake will be more delicate, with a slightly crumbly texture. When purchasing cake flour, don't buy self-rising cake flour unless the recipe specifically calls for it. If you do buy it by mistake, omit the baking powder or baking soda and salt from the recipe.

You can easily substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour, or vice versa:
• If your recipe calls for cake flour and you have only all-purpose flour on hand, you can substitute 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for 1 cup of cake flour.

• If you need all-purpose flour and have only cake flour on hand, substitute 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of cake flour for 1 cup of all-purpose flour. The texture will be different, but if you have no other choice, it's okay.

• If you have instant flour on hand, such as Wondra, combine 2 tablespoons in the cup measure, then add enough all-purpose flour to make 1 cup (which would be about 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons). That will also give you a flour similar to cake flour.

Answer 3

Well if ya dont have any cake flour, chances are you don't have any corn starch either huh? best bet would be to take your cheap *** down to the store and cough up the 2 dollars it cost for flour. And if your to cheap for that hopefully you live in a neighborhood where you can still knock on your neighbors door for a stick of butter or what have you. If after all that and no success well my friend than no angle food cake for your mother. By the way what kind of angle will the cake be, acute, obtuse , or my personal favorite the right angle, either way good luck

Thank you for your question,,,,,,,,,,this is soooooo interesting to me. I have skipped many a recipe due to the fact it called for cake flour. Now I know that there is a simple substitute. Enjoy your cake and have a HAPPY MOTHER's day with your MOM. (~; =

You can use all-purpose flour. It can be used for anything and it won't affect the quality of your angel food cake.
