Instructions
Measure out 2 tablespoons of your cornstarch into a 1 cup dry measuring cup then top if off with your all-purpose flour. Spoon and level the flour into your measuring cup.
Sift your cornstarch and AP flour combo together TWICE to ensure that the cornstarch is evenly distributed throughout your flour.
Spoon and level one cup from this mixture to use in your baking recipes.
Notes
Each serving is 1 cup of homemade cake flour.
Measure each 1 cup of cake flour individually when your recipe calls for more than 1 cup of cake flour. I've found that this yields better results than combining the ingredients in larger bulk quantities.
In the UK, you might find cornstarch labeled as corn flour- these are the same thing. However, make sure you aren't using cornmeal as it is a completely different ingredient.
To store: Make sure to keep your cake flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place (such as the pantry or a cabinet).
