Related to Cake Flour
Plain Flour
Last-resort straight swap when out of cake flour. Expect a sturdier crumb. Works in muffins and pound cakes, less so in delicate sponge. See our Plain Flour converter.
Bread Flour
Bread flour sits at the high end of protein (around 12 to 14%) while cake flour sits at the low end (7 to 9%), so they produce opposite textures. They differ by cup (150 g vs 130 g); they are not a straight swap, but blending half cake and half bread flour gives roughly the protein of plain flour. See bread flour in cups.
Self Raising Flour
Self-raising flour is plain flour pre-mixed with baking powder, so it has more protein than cake flour (around 10 to 12% vs 7 to 9%) and a slightly heavier cup (140 g vs 130 g). They are not a swap; cake flour gives a tender crumb, self-raising flour supplies its own lift. See self raising flour in cups.
Oat Flour
Cake flour still has a little gluten (around 7 to 9% protein) to hold a sponge up; oat flour has none, so it cannot carry a light sponge on its own. It suits flatter bakes: muffins, pancakes and soft cookies, where nothing has to stay tall. See our Oat Flour converter.
