Cake Flour is often used in many cakes and baking goodies.It is very easy and quick to make at home. I tried yogurt muffins using this cake flour and the result was soo good.
This is vanilla yogurt muffins that I tried using homemade cake flour.

September 22, 2015 at 11:56 amGood one, for a long time I wonder what is cake flour…. I thought may be for maida they use this term, now u clarified that doubt. Very easy and nice to know new thing.
# Whether we can do the same with wheat flour? Is it possible? Just an idea to reduce maida, any other flour can be replaced

September 22, 2015 at 1:58 pmI am really not sure whether it will work with wheat flour, you can try and see

Can we use this home made cake flour for any cake recipes that ask for APF?
SHARMILEE J says
December 15, 2015 at 12:38 pmNo all purpose flour is different from cake flour I think
leah mol says
December 15, 2015 at 1:52 pmSorry for asking again Sharmilee
If a particular recipe uses 1 cup APF then can we use this(above mentioned) home made cake flour (1 cup) instead of that particular recipe's 1 cup APF?
SHARMILEE J says
December 23, 2015 at 3:25 amNo cake flour is different from all purpose flour.All purpose flour is just plain flour(maida) as I believe so cant be replaced for cake flour
