FAQs
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of cake flour?
Yes, but the texture will be slightly less tender. If using AP flour, remove 2 tbsp from each cup and replace with cornstarch.
Can I add flavor variations?
Absolutely! Lemon zest, almond extract, or even chocolate chips work great.
How do I store it?
Wrap tightly and keep at room temperature for 4 days, or refrigerate up to 7 days.
