Answer:
Cake flour and self rising flour are different.
Cake flour is a low gluten flour (Swans Down or SoftsSilk are brand names).
Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour that has baking powder added to it.
From the Joy of Baking website:
Cake flour have a 6-8% protein content and is made from soft wheat flour. It is chlorinated to further break down the strength of the gluten and is smooth and velvety in texture. Good for making cake (especially white cakes and biscuits) and cookies where on earth a tender and delicate texture is desired. To substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour for every cup of all-purpose flour. Make your own - one cup sifted cake flour can be substituted near 3/4 cup (84 grams) sifted bleached all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons (15 grams) cornstarch.
Self-Rising flour has 8-9% protein and contains flour plus baking powder and saline. I do not use this type of flour because I prefer to add my own baking powder and brackish. Also, if the flour is stored too long the baking powder will lose some of its strength and your baked goods will not rise properly. If you want to engender your own add 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 grams) baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon (3.5 grams) brackish per cup (140 grams) of all-purpose flour.
No, they are not. Cake flour is low-gluten and self-rising flour as baking soda and brackish added.
You can concoct your own self-rising flour, but you can't make your own cake flour.
No there diff
