How
to make Cake Flour
Cake
Flour is simply a lighter, finer ground flour. If using regular, or All-Purpose
flour use this simple trick to make Cake Flour. To make one cup of Cake Flour,
add two tablespoons of cornstarch to your one-cup measuring cup, then fill it
the rest of the way with All-Purpose flour. If you need ½ cup measurements, add
one tablespoon of cornstarch to your ½ cup measuring cup and fill the rest with
All-Purpose flour.
Another
option would be to use a Cuisinart blender and give the flour an extra spin.
This works well for any Gluten-Free Cup4Cup flour blends too.
