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.
Cake flour is a finer grained powder than all purpose. Self rising means it already has the baking powder added. All purpose may be used for either, but you would have to add baking powder, and the end product would not be quite as delicate.
Yes you can :)

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.
you add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of plain flour
9 ounces of self rising flour, as opposed to cake flour or all purpose flour.
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.
Only use self-rising flour (aka self-raising) as a substitute for regular flour if the recipe gives instructions for doing so. Self-rising flour contains salt and leavening and cannot be used as a direct replacement in all recipes that call for plain flour.Well once I made biscuits with regular flour and they were rock hard, so unless you want rocks instead of fluffy soft biscuits, then you can't use rugular flour instead of self-rising.
That depends on what kind of cake your baking. . .

Yes, you can use Brodie self-rising cake and pastry flour in place of regular self-rising flour, but keep in mind that it has a lower protein content. This may result in a lighter and softer texture in your baked goods. Adjustments to other ingredients might be needed depending on the specific recipe you are using.
