Have you ever bought a large bag of cake flour so you could
use just a little bit for one recipe? I have so many times until I realized
that I can make a cake flour substitute. This works just as well, if not
better, because I have all the ingredients at home and I can make as much or a
little as I need.
Cake flour is just super refined flour that bakes up lighter
and fluffier that regular four. Wit out further ado, here is the recipe I like
to use.
Take your favorite cornstarch
Measure out 2 tablespoons
Dump it into a 1 cup measuring cup
Fill the rest of the cup with flour
Dump the cup into a mixing bowl
Mix thoroughly, you could also use a sifter and just sift a
few times
Now you have one cup of cake flour substitute, repeat recipe
for however many cups of cake flour you need.
I had no idea you could make your own cake flour! Normally I just substituted normal flour and hoped for the best. I'm excited to try this next time I make a cake!
