Sugar is my favorite food pyramid. On that pyramid, brown sugar is my fave food group! Powdered sugar is uber fine!
is it many times sifted
Generally you can, yes.
Yes; To substitute cake flour with ap flour use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour for every 1 cup of ap flour
You can use cake meal as a substitute for flour.
yes enriched flour can be substituted for all purpose flour in a cake
Yes. Be sure to add an additional 1/4 of a cup per cup of flour required in the recipe.
You still use a cup of cake flour for 1 cup regular flour.
No, cake flour is much finer, giving cakes light texture. You would be better of substituting regular all purpose flour
Yes, but the regular flour should be sifted and reduced by one tablespoon per cup.
To make 2 cups of cake flour: 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup cornstarch Mix the two ingredients together and you have a substitute for cake flour! Measure and use the correct amount in which they ask for in your selected recipe.
With most flours if it doesn't specifically say "cake flour" on the package, then it is not the same as cake flour. But you can substitute plain (not self rising) flour for cake flour. For each cup of cake flour called for in the recipe, use one cup minus two tablespoons plain flour, and sift it at least twice (after measuring). White Lily says you can substitute their flour for "cake flour" without making any changes, and it does not need to be sifted. For more information on White Lily Flour see the related link below.

Generally, all-purpose flour is good. You can also use whole wheat -or multigrain flour if you wish.
