How to Make Cake Flour

I feel like it's been forever since the last time I posted. It's past the middle of January and this is my first post of the year. Yey! It's been almost a year since I started baking. And yes, I still feel like I'm a beginner.

But anyway, due to my late post for 2011 and being Valentine's is the closest special celebration happening, I thought I'd share how to make cake flour. Why cake flour? It's the choice ingredient for Red Velvet Cake - a popular baked goodie for the occasion. It makes it light and fluffy with a tender crumb. 

Who ever has cake flour on hand when needed, right? Fortunately, it is so easy to turn all-purpose flour into cake flour. You probably already know how.

Heavy Cream Substitute

Heavy Cream is something I almost always don't have on my refrigerator. I found a really cheap and easy recipe to substitute for heavy cream so you don't have to buy any. Note that this recipe doesn't whip, though. So, please don't forget that.

TOOLS

• Bowl
• Microwave Oven

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup Milk
• 1/3 cup Butter, melted and cooled
• 1 tablespoon Flour (if  you're using low-fat Milk)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Stil all ingredients together.

Use this recipe in place of one (1) cup heavy cream. And again, this is not for whipping.
