About Cake Flour
Check both the package and recipe for sifting instructions. Cake flour varies by milling and treatment; a low cup weight alone does not explain the tenderness of a cake.
A flour-and-cornstarch blend is not identical to commercial cake flour. If using a tested substitute, follow its quantities as a complete blend rather than assuming two spoonfuls of starch bring it to 100 g.
Tips for measuring Cake Flour
- Distinguish 'sifted flour' from 'flour, then sifted'.
- Use the recipe's listed weight when available.
Common mistakes
- Applying the 100 g reference to every unsifted cake flour.
