Can you use gluten free flour instead of self raising flour?
Technically all flour has gluten in it. Gluten is a protein found in food processed from wheat and other related species. Different kinds of flours have different levels of gluten (bread flour has high gluten vs. cake flour with low gluten). Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with salt and some kind of leavening agent. So yes, self-rising flour, like all flour has gluten in it. It just doesn't have special amount added or taken away like bread or cake flour does. It has same gluten content as all-purpose flour.
Is high gluten flour good to use for cakes?
No. High gluten flour is used for baking breads, where a more chewy texture is desired. Lots of mixing and kneading "works up" the gluten in bread dough to create that chewiness. For cakes, which should have a delicate crumb, low gluten flour (pastry flour) is preferred.
How do you convert plain flour into all-purpose?
