Self-Rising Cake Flour - DIY Style




I could not believe the difference this flour made in my cake!  I have not tried it in any other baking yet but it is supposed to make muffins, cookies, biscuits and lots more baked stuff very light and high-rising.


For each 1 c flour needed, measure 1 c into bowl, remove 2 T and replace with 2 T cornstarch.

Add 1/4 t salt and 1 1/4 t baking powder.

Sift together using super fine sifter (pic above) then sift again 6 more times!

Yes, that is 7 times all together.

I know it sounds like a lot but your cake will be dreamy light with a very delicate crumb.
Melt in your mouth smooth!

You can make this ahead in a larger amount, don't forget to sift several times again before using if it has been sitting.

For measuring your flour - gently scoop sifted flour into 1 c measure and level with knife.

If you are adding any more dry ingredients to the flour sift again to combine.

💜  If you just want to make Cake Flour without the self-rising then omit the salt and baking powder.
