You will need:

0.3cupCornstarch
½cupRice Flour
Substitution ratio: 1 cup Cake Flour = 0.3 cup Cornstarch + ½ cup Rice Flour + 0.2 cup Tapioca Starch

Effects on Your Baking

Exceptionally clean and neutral, even more so than the all-purpose GF blend. The high starch content means there's virtually zero grain flavor, which is critical for delicate cakes where vanilla, lemon, rose, or other subtle flavors need to come through without any competition. If you've been disappointed by GF cakes that taste "floury" or starchy, this blend solves that problem — the flavor is as close to invisible as a flour blend can get.

Pro Tips

  • ·Use only 1/4 to 1/2 tsp xanthan gum per cup — less is more for tender cakes
  • ·Sift the blend twice before using for the lightest crumb
  • ·Excellent for layer cakes, cupcakes, and Swiss rolls
  • ·Fold in dry ingredients gently — GF cake batters lose air quickly when overworked
