Cake Flour Mix Food

BASIC VANILLA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Whisk 3 cups flour, the baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.) Beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with flour, until just smooth.
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

HOW TO SUBSTITUTE FOR CAKE FLOUR IN RECIPES

Steps:

• Place 2 tbsp (20 g) of cornstarch into a 1 cup measuring cup. To make a cup of cake flour substitute, start with 2 tbsp (20 g) of cornstarch. Measure this ingredient out precisely with a measuring spoon and place the cornstarch in a 1 cup measuring cup. The cornstarch will help mimic the lightness of cake flour, which is perfect for light, fluffy cakes that still need structure, such as chiffon or angel food cake.
• Fill the rest of the 1 cup (130 g) with all-purpose flour. Use a spoon to transfer flour into the measuring cup, over top of the cornstarch. Keeping adding flour until the 1 cup measurement is full, then level the top off with the flat edge of a knife. This method helps prevent packing and gives you a more precise measurement. Avoid the "digging" technique when measuring flour. Digging the cup into a bag of flour can pack extra flour into the measuring cup, which makes the cake denser.
• Combine the flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Dump the measuring cup's contents into a mixing bowl, then use a whisk or spoon to combine the flour and cornstarch. Mix well until the 2 ingredients are combined.
• Use another bowl and a strainer or sifter to sift the flour mixture 3-5 times. Place a strainer or sifter on top of another bowl that's about the same size as the first. Pour the flour and cornstarch mixture through, shaking and tapping the sides of the strainer or sifter until the mixture has fully sifted through. Sifting will combine and aerate the flour mixture, which will help make the cake light and fluffy.
• Scale the 1 cup measurement up and down for the recipe. Use this substitution for 1 cup of cake flour while baking. Scale it as needed, following the amount recommended by the recipe. For example, if the recipe calls for 1/2 cup (70 g) of cake flour, use 1/2 (75 g) cup of all-purpose flour and replace 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (25 g) of flour with 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (10 g) of cornstarch.

HOW TO MAKE CAKE FLOUR

Steps:

• Measure out the amount needed for your recipe. I always measure out 6 cups of all purpose flour.
• For every 1 cup of flour remove 2 Tbsp of flour.
• Now add 2 Tbsp of Cornstarch for every 1 cup of flour. (replacing the tablespoons of flour taken out).
• Sift 5-6 times and it's ready-to-use cake flour.
• *To sift flour without a sifter just use a strainer by filling it with flour and tapping against the palm of your hand over a bowl.
• (left-over flour can go back in the bag).
• Always measure the flour that is needed after its sifted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line the bottom of a 9-inch pan tube pan with parchment paper, don't grease.
• Sift flours and egg white powder into a bowl, set aside.
• In a large bowl, using a hand mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and cream of tartar until frothy. Then slowly add the swerve while continuing beating until soft peaks form - do not overbeat the mixture. Add the vanilla extract in the end.
• Fold the flour mixture - a third at a time - gently into the beaten egg whites with a silicone spatula.
• Spread the batter evenly in the pan, smooth the top, and tap the pan on the table a few times to make sure there are no big bubbles.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and then cool the cake upside down on a cooling rack.
• Run a knife along the inside edges of the pan to release the cake and invert it on a plate. Peel the parchment paper from the top.
• Serve alone or top with confectioners swerve, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower middle position and preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
• In a food processor or blender, pulse the sugar until fine and powdery. Remove 1 cup and set aside to use in step 3; keep the rest inside the food processor. Add the cake flour and salt to the food processor. Pulse 5-10 times until sugar/flour/salt mixture is aerated and light.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip egg whites and cream of tartar together on medium-low until foamy, about 1 minute. Switch to medium-high and slowly add the 1 cup of sugar you set aside. Whip until soft peaks form, about 5-6 minutes. See photo and video above for a visual. Add the vanilla extract, then beat just until incorporated.
• In 3 additions, slowly sift the flour mixture into the egg white mixture using a fine mesh strainer, gently folding with a rubber spatula after each addition. To avoid deflating or a dense cake, don't add the flour mixture all at once. Sift and very slowly fold in several additions. This is important! Pour and spread batter into an ungreased 9 or 10 inch tube pan. Shimmy the pan on the counter to smooth down the surface.
• Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking. The cake will rise up very tall while baking. Remove from the oven, then cool the cake completely upside-down set on a wire rack, about 3 hours. (Upside-down so the bottom of the tube pan is right-side up, see photo and video above.) Once cooled, run a thin knife around the edges and gently tap the pan on the counter until the cake releases.
• If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar. Slice the cake with a sharp serrated knife. Regular knives can easily squish the cake. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

• . Combine half of the sugar, flour and salt and sift them together 5 times. Set aside.
• . Whip egg whites with a mixer on low speed until they get frothy, then add the cream of tartar and vanilla extract.
• . Increase speed to medium and continue whipping, adding remaining sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Wait 5-10 seconds between each addition to give time for the sugar to incorporate.
• . Increase to medium-high speed and whip until it reaches stiff peaks.
• . Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the flour mixture into the egg whites 1/4 cup at a time. Sift the flour mixture again as you add it to the egg whites. Repeat until all the flour mixture has been added.
• . Pour the batter into the ungreased pan and smooth evenly, then run a knife through the batter to break up any air bubbles. I like to run it around the outside wall and inside wall of the pan as well. Air bubbles that sit against the sides of the pan can give it little air pockets on the edges once baked.
• . Bake until lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 28-30 minutes.
• . Immediately after removing from the oven, turn the cake upside down to cool. Your tube pan should have little feet to rest on white it cools. Allow it to cool for about an 1 hour.
• 0. Once cooled, turn it right side up and run a knife or spatula along the outside and inside walls of the pan to loosen it. Invert the cake onto a serving plate.
• 1. Slice the cake with a serrated knife and use a careful sawing motion so that you don't smash the cake. Serve as is or with fresh fruit, whipped cream or other toppings. Cake is best when stored at room temperature in an air tight container for 3-4 days.
