Chocolate cake.
There seems to be some misunderstanding. Pillsbury - and other companies - produce chocolate cake mixes, along with chocolate brownie mixes, cookie mixes, and so forth. These mixes include ordinary all purpose or cake flour combined with sugar, cocoa and other ingredients. You use the mix by adding other things, usually eggs, oil or butter, water or milk according to the directions on the package. > But there is not a commercial product that is "chocolate cake flour." Flour is simply flour; cake flour has less gluten (a protein) than all-purpose or bread flour. You need to add cocoa or baking chocolate to the cake flour in order to make chocolate cake.
For 2 cups of cake flour:1 3/4 all-purpose flour1/4 cornstarch
you add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of plain flour
Self-raising flour is just flour plus baking powder. All-purpose flour or cake flour should work just fine. AND ... You will have to add the baking powder that is included in self-raising flour. Add one teaspoon baking powder per cup of flour.
The ingredients for making a Chocolate Cake include: ½ tsp of salt 1 tsp of vanilla 1 tsp of baking soda 1/3 cup of water A cup of flour ½ cup of milk A couple of eggs 1/3 cup of butter 3 cups of cocoa Baking utensils and cake pans
You have to add about 3 puddings to make a cake mix moist.
the best substitute for cake flour is 2 cups minus 2tablespoons flour plus 2 tbs cornstarch.
Self-raising flour, caster sugar, hard margarine, eggs and cocoa powder
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.
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.
Flour is added to thivken the mixture for batter. It can also be used to add taste! Hope this helps!
