Is plain flour and baking powder the same as self-raising flour?
No. Self raising flour already has baking soda mixed into it (which is another leavening agent used in cake baking)
How does self raising flour help cake rise?
Self raising flour makes the cake rise, but if you don't have any you can use plain flour and baking powder which has the same effect. 225g plain flour and 4 teaspoons baking powder, will transform it into self raising flour.
When you use plain flour instead of cake flour do you not have to add baking powder?
Follow the recipe for the amount of baking powder to use whether your using regular flour or cake flour. Neither of them have baking powder, unless it is "self rising" which means leavening is included.
Self-rising cake flour is it the same as cake flour or self-rising flour and can you use all purpose flour instead?
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.
Can self rising flour be used to bake a cake if you do not have plain flour?
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.
Why do you like to eat self rising flour?
self raising flour is basically plain flour with baking powder in it so for a cake you can use plain flour with baking powder but it is easier to use self raising and it also has other raising agents. you need to use it to make you cake rise, if your cake didn't rise it would be small and very dense making its texture not as nice to consume.

Can you omit baking soda and baking powder with self rising flour?
No you don't, I thought this earlier on today, but if you have self-raising flour then you are fine. It just raises better with baking power added. Really you "must" use self-raising in using cake or will Not rise. :')
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.
