Yes, but be ware. Cake flour is formulated specifically for the features most people would look for in a cake. Their mixtures make the cake lighter a fluffy and usually hold moisture better so the final product is a dense dry wad of bread.
All purpose flour is just that. It is pretty much the middle of the road. The gluten content makes the final product tougher and chewier. Cake flour contains less of it. So it turns out more spounge like in the fact that you can press on it and it bounces back slowly. More gluten and you are to bread crust. Hope that helps! Happy cooking. Oh and mail me a slice for analysis ;)
No it is not. I was looking for a non self-rising cake flour and Softasilk does not contain salt or carbonate products to make it self rising.
no
Yes you can :)

Self-rising flour has soda in it. All Purpose is basic flour, so you'd have to add soda to it. Cake Flour has been milled finer than the other two, so neither of these would make good cake flour.
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.
you add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of plain flour
9 ounces of self rising flour, as opposed to cake flour or all purpose flour.
in a store
Use a smooth bottomed cake pan and coat it lightly with flour at the bottom, Regular flour not self rising.
Yes, you can use self rising flour to bake a cake. Just leave out any baking soda, baking powder or salt called for in the recipe, as these are already included in self rising flour.
No it Can't Because the Self - Raising Flour Raises the cake or whatever you are making. So unless You Want a flat cake then.... Baking mix can not be substituted for self - raising flour. :)
