You still use a cup of cake flour for 1 cup regular flour.
No, cake flour is much finer, giving cakes light texture. You would be better of substituting regular all purpose flour
Cake flour is much finer. Sometimes it is combined with baking powder, so you have to check the box on the brand you buy because you won't need to add the baking powder in the recipe if the brand contains it. Cake flour gives a much lighter texture. If you need to substitute all purpose flour for cake flour, then use 1 cup minus 2 Tbsp. of all purpose flour for every cup of cake flour called for in the recipe.
You can but you need to add baking powder and salt to it.
3 cups! :)
No. Any kind of refined flour is generally not a good idea for diabetics. Refining out all the vitamins, fiber and fats just leaves the flour extremely starchy which causes a rise in blood sugar and then a heavy crash. Cake flour is superfine and thus, superbad. If you can find whole-grain cake flour (ingredients: 100% whole ___") then it's a little better, but the blood sugar reaction will still be bad.
No, cake flour does not have as much gluten in it which makes it more tender.

I've just made a tray of it with cake flour, and I don't like it much. It may have something to do with my using a larger pan than usual, or that the apple-to-crisp ratio is off (not enough crisp), but it's kind of mushy.
Whole wheat flour. However, in some recipes the results will be much heavier.
No, because cake flour will make baked goods much more dense and heavier.A bit more:While cake flour makes cakes very light and tender, it doesn't have enough gluten in it to make bread, which has to have a much higher gluten content to achieve the right texture, and to aid in rising.
you need all-purpose flour to make a cake. - not bread flour- that is only for bread!
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
