Cake Flour vs. Plain flour

Food Advertisements by

Cake flour has less protein and gluten, making it perfect for cakes and cookies where a soft, delicate texture is desired. I love using a mix for cake flour and plain flour in my cookies, to create soft, chewy cookies with a slightly crisp exterior.

What you’ll need to make Cake Flour:

All you need is a few things you probably already have at home:

• cornflour
• flour
• measuring scale (or 1 cup and 1 tbsp measuring cups)
• sieve

How to make Homemade Cake Flour:

1. Measure your plain flour on a scale or in cups.
2. Next, remove 16g or 2 tbsp of flour.
3. Add in 16g or 2 tbsp of cornflour with you plain flour.
4. Sieve 3-4 times to achieve fine cake flour.

 For the best results, make one batch of this cake flour at a time.
