A cake mix has sugar, baking powder, salt and flavoring already in it. That would make it very hard to use in replace of just the flour in another recipe. If you have a cake mix, make that cake, following the instructions on the package.
Although, you can modify most cake mixes by adding nuts, flavorings, fruit, etc. to it.

∙ 16y agoIf one is making a cake from scratch I think so, but I do not usually have cake flour on hand so I use all purpose flour. If your baking from a mix, the flour is already in the mix.

How do you use Pillsbury chocolate cake flour?
There seems to be some misunderstanding. Pillsbury - and other companies - produce chocolate cake mixes, along with chocolate brownie mixes, cookie mixes, and so forth. These mixes include ordinary all purpose or cake flour combined with sugar, cocoa and other ingredients. You use the mix by adding other things, usually eggs, oil or butter, water or milk according to the directions on the package. > But there is not a commercial product that is "chocolate cake flour." Flour is simply flour; cake flour has less gluten (a protein) than all-purpose or bread flour. You need to add cocoa or baking chocolate to the cake flour in order to make chocolate cake.
Can bugs grow in expired cake mixes?

Does cake mix have gluten?
Yes, cake mixes are made with wheat flour, and all wheat flour contains gluten. Cake mixes contain less gluten than bread mixes or all-purpose flour, but still enough to cause problems for those who are gluten-sensitive. Betty Crocker has a few gluten-free cake mixes on the market, but in general, you'll need to use scratch recipes that use rice flour, or almond meal. If you do a search for "flourless cake recipes," you'll find a few good ones, though they'll be much more dense than what you get with a boxed mix.
