It allows breads and cakes to rise (by trapping the bubbles in gluten protein molecules). Plain flour can be used but it has to have baking powder added to it to help it rise. Self-raising needs no such additives.
no
Yes you can :)
Nope
No it is not. I was looking for a non self-rising cake flour and Softasilk does not contain salt or carbonate products to make it self rising.
That depends on what kind of cake your baking. . .
you use self-raising flour so that when the cake is cooking it rises and it adds to the mixture you use too make a cake :)
No it Can't Because the Self - Raising Flour Raises the cake or whatever you are making. So unless You Want a flat cake then.... Baking mix can not be substituted for self - raising flour. :)
you add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of plain flour
Self-rising flour has soda in it. All Purpose is basic flour, so you'd have to add soda to it. Cake Flour has been milled finer than the other two, so neither of these would make good cake flour.
9 ounces of self rising flour, as opposed to cake flour or all purpose 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.
Use a smooth bottomed cake pan and coat it lightly with flour at the bottom, Regular flour not self rising.
