How to Make Cake Flour

Homemade cake flour requires just 2 ingredients and takes 2 minutes, but you can always have it on hand even if you don't stock cake flour in your pantry. You know exactly what is going into the flour, and it's cheaper than buying the premade mix. You'll use this hack over and over again!

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour minus 2 Tbsp
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Measure flour by scooping it into a measuring cup and scraping the top off with the back of a knife to level it. Remove 2 Tbsp flour and return to your flour bin.
  2. Add 2 Tbsp cornstarch to your flour.
  3. Use a fine mesh sieve or flour sifter to sift the two together about 4-5 times to make sure they are really well combined.

Notes

  • Scaling the Recipe: If your recipe calls for more cake flour, increase the ingredients proportionally - i.e. 2 cups flour (minus 4 Tbsp flour) with 4 Tbsp cornstarch, etc.
  • Store cake flour substitute as you would any other flour, in an airtight container in the pantry. Check when the AP flour and cornstarch expire to know when the cake flour expires, usually 6 to 8 months.
