Yes it is the leading cause of aids, most experts do not recomend it.
the best substitute for cake flour is 2 cups minus 2tablespoons flour plus 2 tbs cornstarch.
Generally, all-purpose flour is good. You can also use whole wheat -or multigrain flour if you wish.
To substitute all-purpose flour with cake flour in a cake recipe, use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of cake flour for every cup of all-purpose flour. This will help make the cake lighter and more tender.
No, cake flour does not have as much gluten in it which makes it more tender.
There are cake flours, otherwise all-purpose and unbleached flour is great to use.
No. If it was safe, then it wouldn't be expired.
That depends on what kind of cake your baking. . .
you need all-purpose flour to make a cake. - not bread flour- that is only for bread!
You still use a cup of cake flour for 1 cup regular flour.
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.
For a perfect sponge cake use half flour and half corn flour.
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 :)
