Steps
Mixing bowl method
- Measure and add 1 cup all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl.
- Remove 2 tablespoons of flour.
- Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the bowl.
- Mix to sift together the cornstarch and flour mixture. The mixture will need to get mixed thoroughly if you want a light and fluffy cake flour.
- Continue with your regular baking recipe.
Measuring cup method
- Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1 cup measure.
- Use a spoon to fill up the rest with the all-purpose flour.
- Add the mixture to your mixing bowl. Continue with your regular baking recipe.
Tips
- You can even label the container with a useful recipe reminder.
- Be sure to use all purpose flour when mixing to make the cake flour. Self rising flour will change the ingredients you need in basic cake recipes.
- Use a strainer to blend the ingredients if you don't have a flour sifter.
- This substitution measurement can easily be multiplied and stored in an airtight container.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons flour + 2 tablespoons cornstarch = 1 cupcake flour
