Short answer: NO. they are not the same. Do NOT use one for the other. I was trying out a new peach cobbler recipe. It called for self-rising flour. I found the definition for self-rising flour which is basically flour with some type of rising agent (usually baking powder) in it. That is what I thought cake flour was -- flour with baking powder. When i made the recipe using the cake flour, the cobbler did not turn out/did not rise. Therefore, I would not use cake flour in place of self=rising flour again. Use 1 cup regular flour minus 2 teaspoons. Add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to equal 1 cup.

∙ 12y agoNo, it is not exactly the same. Self-raising flour has yeast and baking powder in it which makes the cakes rise. Normal flour on its own will not make the cakes rise.
Hope this helped.

∙ 11y agoNo, cake flour is different from self rising flour. Cake flour is ground finer than all purpose flour and gives a silkier more desirable finished product.

∙ 11y agoNo, they are different. Cake flour is just wheat flour ground really fine-it is soft and silky. Self rising flour is all purpose flour that has salt and baking powder in it.

Cake flour is a finer grained powder than all purpose. Self rising means it already has the baking powder added. All purpose may be used for either, but you would have to add baking powder, and the end product would not be quite as delicate.
