Because it needs flour power for it to taste good.
You still use a cup of cake flour for 1 cup regular flour.
yes you can make your own cake flour you just need to buy the cake flour and in the back it should give you the ingredients. now may i know who am i speaking to
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.
Usually, cake flour has less gluten in it so the finished product will be lighter in texture. Some recipes need the gluten.
With most flours if it doesn't specifically say "cake flour" on the package, then it is not the same as cake flour. But you can substitute plain (not self rising) flour for cake flour. For each cup of cake flour called for in the recipe, use one cup minus two tablespoons plain flour, and sift it at least twice (after measuring). White Lily says you can substitute their flour for "cake flour" without making any changes, and it does not need to be sifted. For more information on White Lily Flour see the related link below.
AA flour is a type of all-purpose flour, while cake flour is finer and has a lower protein content. Generally, to substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour, you can use about 1 cup of cake flour for every cup of AA flour. However, if you're looking to convert measurements, 1 cup of cake flour weighs approximately 120 grams, whereas 1 cup of AA flour weighs around 125 grams. If a recipe specifically calls for AA flour, you might need to adjust the liquid ingredients slightly when using cake flour.
Characteristic of cake flour
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.
Brodie makes a self-rising flour specifically for cakes and pastries. The major difference between all-purpose flour and cake and pastry flour is that one is finer and because you do not need the same amount of gluten in cakes it can produce a finer lighter cake. Good luck!
no you do not you need self raising flour though
You need to do it with butter
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.
