~Recipe Notes:
*How to make your own Cake Flour:
-Ingredients:
1 Cup All Purpose Flour.
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch.
-Directions:
Step 1: Remove 2 tablespoons from one level cup of all-purpose flour, then add in 2 tablespoons of corn starch.
Step 2: Sift together very well before using.
Substituting cake flour with a mix of all-purpose flour and cornstarch works because the cornstarch helps inhibit the formation of some of the gluten in the all-purpose flour. The result? A cake that's just as tender as it would be if you used store-bought cake flour. Just be sure to sift your the flour well: you want the cornstarch to be thoroughly combined with the flour and the mix to be light and airy.
1) You can use 2 large loaf pans instead of a bundt cake pan.
Enjoy!
