Cake Flour Substitute
By: Lennie
Mar 29, 2004
I don't always have cake flour on hand, and I'm betting many others don't either. I have discovered that this substitute works very, very well. Easy too, and it uses pantry staples!
2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
Directions
1
To make two cups of cake-and-pastry flour (cake flour), combine 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup cornstarch; proceed with your recipe.2
The easiest way to do this substitution is to put 2 tbsp of cornstarch in the bottom of a 1-cup measuring cup, then fill the cup as usual with all-purpose flour and level top. Repeat process to get your two cups.3
If you only need 1/2 cup of cake flour, put 1 tbsp cornstarch in bottom of 1/2 cup measuring cup, then fill and level as above.

I've never used a recipe before that called for cake flour so I was very thankful for this substitution when I decided to make a batch of brownies with cake flour as an ingredient. I don't have anything to compare this recipe to consequently but I think it did the trick just fine. I won't ever buy cake flour now that I know this substitution is here and it is an item I rarely use.
