Yes.
It should smell exactly the same as all-purpose flour. After all, cake flour is just a more refined version of all-purpose flour.
yes. They are the same thing. Plain flour is an Australian term where all-purpose is the American.
Brodie makes a self-rising flour specifically for cakes and pastries. The major difference between all-purpose flour and cake and pastry flour is that one is finer and because you do not need the same amount of gluten in cakes it can produce a finer lighter cake. Good luck!
Yes. All-purpose flour and unbleached flour are usually the same thing. Just be sure that the package doesn't say something like 'self rising', 'bread flour', or 'cake flour' - those ARE NOT all-purpose flour.
No. Some cake flours contain corn starch. Pastry flour, or all-purpose flour, does not.
1 cup of cake flour is equal to 1 cup of all purpose flour , but subtract 2 tablespoons, and there are 16 TSin a cup, and 16 divided by 3 x2= 10.7, so that's about 10 and 3/4 TS. and theres your answer, 10 and 3/4 TS of all-purpose 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.
Yes, all cake flour is the same. They are just different brands.
No. If the recipe calls for all purpose flour and you want to use cake flour, add an additional 2 tablespoons cake flour per each cup called for in the recipe. If the recipe calls for cake flour and you want to use all purpose flour, then you do the opposite - use 1 cup all purpose flour minus 2 tablespoons per cup. But if using all purpose flour when the recipe calls for cake flour, be sure to sift it. Cake flour is lighter and more airy than all purpose flour.
yes you can. it is pretty much the same thing.
Generally the same amount. Might sift all purpose 1 0r 2 times to create more air since wheat flour is more dense. Mix all purpose flour as little as possible to avoid glutens which could toughen final product.
All-purpose flour is the same thing as plain flour. The terms are simply different for different parts of the world. In Australia and the United Kingdom, it is known as plain flour while in the United States and Canada it is known as All-Purpose Flour. This type of flour has a lower amount of gluten protein than bread flour, but more than baking flour so it is balanced and can be used for a wide range of purposes.
