a kitchen hint

It is Monday, lugubrious to the core, so I was hoping a helpful hint from the kitchen would provide a little sunshine.

Have you ever found yourself in the kitchen prepared to bake a cake, or at least thought you were prepared, until you realized the recipe called for cake flour rather than all-purpose flour? No worries, simply replace two tablespoons of the all-purpose flour with two tablespoons of cornstarch.
A definite lightness is creeping into the day already!

Interesting tip Cathy. I'd never heard of cake flour - I guess it's something we don't have in Australia. We just have 'plain flour' and 'self-raising flour'.
