Cake Flour Measuring FAQs

Should cake flour be sifted before or after measuring? ▾

Most classic recipes call for sifted flour; unsifted cake flour weighs 114g per cup, while sifted weighs approximately 100g.

Why does cake flour produce softer cakes? ▾

It is milled from soft winter wheat with 7-9% protein and chlorinated, which limits gluten development and sets starches faster.
