I hate having six bags of different flours sitting in my pantry! Plus I don't make cake often enough to justify buying one more flour. Awesome.

However, I recently wanted to make a yellow cake recipe that called for cake flour, and having none, I tried this substitute. Disaster! The cake failed to rise, it was way too dense, crumb was terrible. I've made the same recipe in the past with true cake flour and it comes out perfectly. Not sure if it was the subsitution, or if there was some other culprit, but now I'm very hesitant to use anything but "real" cake flour. Am I the only one who has had this problem?

You mix them together and measure from there. Marie -- Pastry flour is not the same as all-purpose or cake flour, so I'm not entirely following. Jill — It makes more than a cup.
