make your own self-rising flour
Who besides me is crazy enough to keep self-rising flour in the pantry? Honestly, there’s no need to since you can make your own at home. For each cup of flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and a 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix extra and store it in an airtight container for months. Now go forth and bake some 1-2-3-4 cake!
What is the difference between cake flour and self-raising flour? I always thought that they were the same thing.
Will affect the quality of my cake if I used SF flour instead of cake flour?
No, they are different. Cake flour is a silkier blend of flour and comes in both self-rising (meaning it contains leavener) and more commonly, not self-rising varieties (meaning it does not). You should not exchange them unless you know what you have and even then, understand that it is not a true swap (as I mentioned, cake flour is silkier).
Will this work for cake flour? I have cake flour but I need self rising cake flour for a recipe.
