Do you use baking powder and soda with cake flour?
No, cake flour is a type of flour that is made from soft wheat and has a low protein content. This makes it ideal for making cakes, as it produces a light and fluffy texture. Baking powder and soda are both leavening agents, which means that they cause baked goods to rise. However, cake flour does not need leavening agents, as the low protein content already allows for a good rise. Adding baking powder or soda to cake flour can actually make the cake too dense and heavy.
