I`m a 12 yr old girl making a layered, 3 different flavored, 3 tiered cake for my dad for his 55th birthday and when I looked at the ingredients it said cake flour. I didn`t know what cake flour was, so when I searched to find out this popped up and it was really helpful. THANKS!

Hi there, i am terribly confused. I bake bread and i notice some recipes which are from america call for using ‘all purpose’ flour as opposed to bread flour sometimes. PLEASE tell me where we can get this ‘all purpose’ flour in south africa or if there is a suitable substitute. From what i’ve researched, their all purpose flour is basically the same as our cake flour, but i want to make certain.
Thanks

I too am confused on the ‘cake flour’ vs ‘ self-rising flour’. I’d like to make a pound cake which calls for ‘cake flour’. I usually use ‘self-rising flour’ for just about everything I bake. Will it be okay for the pound cake? TY

Thanks for this brilliant and helpful post. Im from SA, now living in UK and their flour here is not great. Something about having to be unbleached. anyway it doesnt rise like in SA so I normally mix self raising and plain flour to get to simolar textures like I had in SA!
