Homemade Cake Flour Recipe
Description
The recipe combines 1¾ cups of all-purpose flour with ¼ cup of cornstarch, sifted together to ensure even mixing and a light texture. The cornstarch reduces the protein content of the flour mix, resulting in a finer, softer flour that yields more tender cakes and pastries than all-purpose flour alone.
This cake flour substitute is easy to prepare at home without special ingredients. It can be measured and used similarly to store-bought cake flour. Sifting before use helps distribute the cornstarch uniformly and aerates the flour for better baking results.
Store the homemade cake flour blend in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a year, or refrigerate or freeze it indefinitely to maintain freshness. Make larger batches by scaling the proportions as needed to have ready-to-use cake flour on hand.
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Sift together the flour and cornstarch.
Notes
- Store homemade cake flour in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 year or refrigerated/frozen indefinitely.
- Ensure cornstarch is fresh for best results in tenderness of baked goods.
- Sift the mixture well before storing and before use to keep it light and uniform.
- Adjust ingredient quantities to make larger batches for convenience.
