you add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of plain flour
Yes you can :)
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.
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.

Use a smooth bottomed cake pan and coat it lightly with flour at the bottom, Regular flour not self rising.
depends what your trying to make , if its cake then yes , Jim
not sure 2nd Answer: You can use self-rising cake flour . . . it is a finer powder that plain self-rising flour, though, so you may have to add a wee bit more liquid to the batter.
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.

I'm assuming you mean whole grain wheat. Whole grain wheat includes the bran, the germ, as well as the "flour" part of the berry. It is much more nutritious.Self-rising flour is make from white flour, which is wheat that has had the bran and germ removed. This pretty much leaves dead cellulose, which they then add some chemical vitamins to, and call it "enriched". Then they add some baking powder (often-times, with aluminum in it) and call it "self-rising" flour.Better to add your own non-aluminum baking powder to your flour.
