The best flour for sponge cakes is cake flour, which has a lower protein content compared to all-purpose flour. This results in a lighter, more delicate texture that is ideal for achieving the airy structure characteristic of sponge cakes. If cake flour is unavailable, you can substitute with a mixture of all-purpose flour and cornstarch to mimic the lower protein content.

Substitute corn starch for flour?

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.
