Ever had a recipe that calls for cake flour, but you didn’t have any at home? Today, I’ll show you how easy it is to make a batch of homemade cake flour. All you need is a few ingredients and few tools.
Cake Flour vs. Plain flour
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:
- Measure your plain flour on a scale or in cups.
- Next, remove 16g or 2 tbsp of flour.
- Add in 16g or 2 tbsp of cornflour with you plain flour.
- Sieve 3-4 times to achieve fine cake flour.
For the best results, make one batch of this cake flour at a time.
