As a straight-up substitution, probably not. If you add a little baking powder and salt, though, it should be okay.
How can I tell if flour is self-rising or all purpose? How can I tell if flour is self-rising or all purpose?
No! self rising flour has additives in it. ( salt and a leavening agent)
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.
I would just try it to see how it works. It shouldn't taste THAT different. If not, then spend $4.99 on a bag of all purpose flour.
Self-rising Flour
no
No, self-rising flour cannot be converted back into all-purpose flour. Salt and a leavening agent, usually baking powder, are added to regular flour to make self-rising flour, and cannot be removed by any practical method.
To make self-rising flour from all-purpose flour, simply mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This will create the equivalent of self-rising flour for your baking needs.
To transform all-purpose flour into self-rising flour, simply add baking powder and salt to the all-purpose flour. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
not same
