No you don't, I thought this earlier on today, but if you have self-raising flour then you are fine. It just raises better with baking power added. Really you "must" use self-raising in using cake or will Not rise. :')

1 cup of plain flour plus 1 teaspoon of baking powder is equivalent to 1 cup of self-raising flour.

∙ 12y agoNo way! Baking powder and self rising flour are completley different things. Also, if you add the baking powder instead of the flour, the cake may taste funny because flour is the average bace.

∙ 11y agoYes, the self-rising flour already includes baking powder. But check your recipe with the instructions on the flour package, as you may need to also adjust the amount of salt.

If a recipe calls for self-rising flour, your recipe will not turn out if you replace it with unbleached flour only because unbleached flour does not rise.

You can try using baking powder instead of soda, but the results may be a bit different. But your best bet if you don't have that either, would be to just use self-rising flour, which will give good results. Just be sure to omit any salt the recipe calls for since the salt is already in the self-rising flour.
