cake flour substitute  - (general rule: 1 cup cake flour= 3/4 cup all purpose flour + 2 tablespoons cornstarch, packed)

The easiest way to do this substitution is to put 2 tbsp of cornstarch in the bottom of a 1-cup measuring cup, then fill the cup as usual with all-purpose flour and level top.

If you only need 1/2 cup of cake flour, put 1 tbsp cornstarch in bottom of 1/2 cup measuring cup, then fill and level as above.
