Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Sift the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve at least three times. Sifting ensures that the ingredients are thoroughly combined and lightens the mixture, mimicking the texture of commercial cake flour. (5 minutes)

For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour for accuracy.
Sifting is crucial for achieving the right texture; don't skip this step!
Store any leftover substitute in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

    I was skeptical, but this works just as well as store-bought cake flour. Will definitely use this again!
