Can you use self rising flour instead of bread flour for bread?
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 would also need to add baking powder to the recipe (about three teaspoons per cup of flour) if you were making this substitution in order for your recipe to rise.
Can you use plain flour in a self raisin flour recipe?
It is best to use self-raising flour if the recipe asks for it, as it is not the same as plain flour, but you can substitute plain flour for self-raising flour provided you add raising agents like baking powder and bicarbonate of soda yourself to the flour.
Can self rising flour be used to bake a cake if you do not have plain flour?

What is the difference between baking cupkakes with baking powder and without baking powder?
Baking Powder is what makes cakes rise, similar to yeast in bread. Plain flour recipes usually need baking powder added alongside other ingredients, whereas Self-Raising flour already has Baking Powder combined so extra is not usually needed. If you bake cupcakes with Plain flour and without Baking Powder they will be very flat, about the same size as the raw mixture, it won't be light and fluffy but quite dense. It is also a good idea to not substitute Self Raising flour in a recipe that calls for Plain and Baking Powder (and vice versa), as the amount is usually tailored to give just the right amount of rise to the food.
Must you always use baking powder when using plain flour?
Yes, if you want your cake to turn out correctly.

Is cake flour plain or self raising?
Unless the recipe states plain flour I always use self raising and no baking soda or powder is needed. Get the proprtions correct and whisk well (this determines the body of your cake), the lighter it is the better it rises and is fluffy and melts in the mouth.
