If you have run out
- One cup plus two tablespoons of cake flour for each cup of all-purpose, which gives a softer crumb.
- Self-rising flour, if you also leave out the recipe’s baking powder and salt — a cup of it already carries about one and a half teaspoons of baking powder and a quarter teaspoon of salt.
