Learn how to make a simple and effective cake flour substitute using common pantry ingredients.
Measure out one cup of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl.
Ensure the flour is leveled off for accurate measurement.
Remove two tablespoons of the flour and return it to your flour container.
This step reduces the protein content, mimicking cake flour.
Add two tablespoons of cornstarch to the flour in the bowl.
Cornstarch helps to tenderize the flour mixture.
Sift the mixture together five to six times to ensure it is well combined and aerated.
Sifting multiple times ensures a fine and even texture.
Use the prepared cake flour substitute in your recipe as needed.
Always measure the sifted flour for accurate baking results.
