you need all-purpose flour to make a cake. - not bread flour- that is only for bread!
That depends on what kind of cake your baking. . .
Follow the recipe for the amount of baking powder to use whether your using regular flour or cake flour. Neither of them have baking powder, unless it is "self rising" which means leavening is included.
If you want it to raise. It takes baking powder regardless of the type of flour. The amount would remain the same.
To substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour in baking recipes, use 1 cup of cake flour for every 1 cup of all-purpose flour. This will help create a lighter and more tender texture in your baked goods.
Whole meal can be used in cake baking. But it produces a heaver, less tender cake than white cake flour.
When you are baking cakes and pastries which are cream based then its must to use refined flour
Self raising flour makes the cake rise, but if you don't have any you can use plain flour and baking powder which has the same effect. 225g plain flour and 4 teaspoons baking powder, will transform it into self raising flour.
Not every recipe calls for baking soda, but for the ones that do it interacts with the flour to rise and expand the cookies or cake.
self raising flour is basically plain flour with baking powder in it so for a cake you can use plain flour with baking powder but it is easier to use self raising and it also has other raising agents. you need to use it to make you cake rise, if your cake didn't rise it would be small and very dense making its texture not as nice to consume.
To use a cake mold for baking a perfect cake, first grease and flour the mold to prevent sticking. Then, pour the cake batter into the mold, making sure it is evenly distributed. Follow the recipe instructions for baking time and temperature. Once baked, allow the cake to cool before removing it from the mold. This will help ensure a perfectly shaped and delicious cake.
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.
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.
