How to Turn All-Purpose Flour into Cake Flour
Step 1: Measure out the all-purpose flour that you’ll need for your recipe.
Step 2: For every cup of flour you use, take out two tablespoons of flour and return it to the flour bin. Throw the cup of flour (minus the two tablespoons) into a sifter set over a bowl.
Step 3: Replace the two tablespoons of flour that your removed with two tablespoons of cornstarch
Step 4: Sift the flour and cornstarch together. Sift it again, and again and again. The cornstarch and flour need to be well incorporated and the flour aerated. Sift the flour and cornstarch mixture about five times.

What is the difference
What is the difference between maida and the one flour we use for making rotis/ parathas at home daily? Can u please clear my doubt.. jzk 🙂
Maida is the plain white
Maida is the plain white flour that we use for baking cakes or cookies etc. Now it really depends whether you use this same flour for your rotis/parathas at home or not. I use a different flour for rotis (whole-wheat flour or atta flour) which is slightly brown in colour, not very white. It’s a bit healthier than maida.
