Cake Flour Substitute
Print Pin VideoIf you don't have any cake flour on hand, or live in a country where it's banned (like here in New Zealand!), then this is a great cake flour substitute. You can use it for most recipes that call for cake flour, and my cakes always come out softer and more tender when I use this substitute :)
IMPORTANT: For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided, as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) flour - regular, all purpose
- 2 tbsp (16 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour
Instructions
- Place your flour in a bowl and remove 2 tablespoons of it.
- Add in the cornstarch and mix until well combined (see note 1).

Notes
Note 1. As an optional step, you can sift the flour/cornstarch mix twice to ensure everything is mixed well.
