Numerous other types of wheat flour may be substituted for all purpose flour, particularly cake flour, unbleached flour and bread flour. Self-rising flour may be substituted for all purpose flour if the amounts of baking powder, baking soda and salt are adjusted. Bread flour contains higher amounts of protein than cake flour. This is because high protein content helps to keep bread dough from falling, but is less desirable for cakes because it tends to add a degree of toughness. All-purpose flour has protein levels that fall somewhere between the two, resulting in a compromise that will work for cakes or bread, but not optimally for either. So if you are making a substitution for all-purpose flour, use bread flour for bread and cake flour for cakes, pastries, etc.
Add 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder for each cup of flour. Bread flour may not be preferred if making biscuits, cakes, or pastries. Use cake flour or all-purpose flour for those.
You can sometimes substitute all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour in a recipe. To do this, you would use the same amount. However, not all recipes will turn out if you do this.
You will use 8 ounces of sugar.
Pastry flour is a relatively low-protein flour that is often called for in making biscuits, cookies, pie crusts, and pastries. The protein content of any given type of flour determines how tender, strong, elastic, stretchy, pliable, etc., the dough is that you make with it, and also the texture of the finished bread, waffle, cookie, croissant, etc. Bread flour, for instance, weighs in between 12% an 13% protein, and helps produce wonderfully well-risen, chewy loaves of bread. Cake flour, at the low end of the spectrum, 5% to 8% protein, is much less elastic, and helps produce wonderfully tender cakes. Pastry flour is up only one notch, at 8% to 9% protein, and lets you create baked goods with a little more body and texture than cake flour, but still with the tenderness one associates with a well-made biscuit or pastry. It can be a challenge to find pastry flour. Even well-stocked supermarkets seldom carry more varieties than cake flour, all-purpose flour (9% to 12% protein), and bread flour. If you can't find pastry flour, you can mix you own by combining cake flour and all-purpose flour in a ratio somewhere between two parts cake flour to one part all-purpose and one part cake flour to one part all-purpose.
Yes, Cake flour can be used instead of all purpose flour but cake flour will make it more dense because it produced more gluten than all purpose flour.Clarification:If you use cake flour instead of all purpose flour, use 1 cup plus two tablespoons cake flour for every cup all purpose flour called for in the recipe. For example, if the recipe calls for 2 cups all purpose flour, you would use 2 cups plus 4 tablespoons cake flour.The results won't be exactly as if you used all purpose flour, but this is the standard substitution ratio.
If you need 1 cup of all purpose flour you can substitute that for 1 cup of cake flour plus two table spoons. so 2.5 cups of all purpose flour equals two 2.5 cups of cake flour plus 5 table spoons. see: http://www.texascooking.com/cooksneedtoknow.htm
Yes, in a pinch you can fake the higher starch-to-protein ratio of cake flour by mixing a couple of tablespoons of corn starch per cup of all purpose flour.
Baking powder - add two teaspoons of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. In America they call "plain flower" all "purpose flour", in Australia where I am from we have 2 main types Plain & self raising. :)
