Cake Flour makes cakes and cupcakes so tender and so pillow-soft!

Storebought Cake flour is bleached flour with a lower protein content than all-purpose flour; it has about 7% protein.

Although you can’t change the very structure of the flour itself like store-bought bleached cake flour, You can make a DIY cake flour that gives you lighter flour with less protein than just all-purpose flour by itself.

In this DIY Cake flour recipe, I´m not using corn starch but potato starch, and what a difference it makes in cakes; it makes such tender and soft cakes.

All-purpose flour gives body to cakes, making them moist and delicious, but if you add potato starch, it provides structure and lightness in cakes without adding gluten.

When used in the correct proportion with all-purpose flour, you get cake flour.
