Best Answer

As long as its not self rising flour. Self rising flour contains levening agents, and that will wreak havoc on the balance of your cake recipe.

You can substitute all purpose flour for cake flour, but because regular flour has a higher protein content than cake flour, and therefore produces more gluten, it will affect the texture of your baked good. It will be a little harder, a little denser, and the taste may be affected as well. In order to approximate the effect of using cake flour, for each 1/2 cup of cake flour called for in the recipe, take your half cup measure, loosely spoon flour into it, don't pack it, level it off, then remove 1 tablespoon of the flour and add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to it.

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.
