Homemade Cake Flour Substitute
Cake flour is a readymade flour blend that we can use for baking cakes, cupcakes or any soft bakes. Cakes baked using this flour gives that kind of fluffy and soft bakery style texture which we all like. Cake flour is not easily available everywhere, So I started making it at home. Once you try using this mix, you can feel the difference in the texture of your cakes.

Notes
- Don’t skip corn flour – Corn flour is what makes this mix special. It helps make cakes more soft and spongy. If you skip it, then you’re just using maida again.
- Measure right – It’s important to remove exact 2 tablespoon maida from 1 cup, then add same amount of corn flour. Try not to guess, use proper measuring spoons for this.
- Whisk or sieve – Sieving is always best so that it is evenly mixed.
- Store clean and dry – Always use a clean dry jar or box. Any moisture inside will spoil the flour or make it lumpy. So make sure the container is dry before storing.
- Make in advance – If you bake often, you can make more and keep ready. I usually make 2 to 3 cups and store. It keeps well for few months and saves time too.
