I ran out of all purpose and need to make a cake tonight. Can I use self rising in it instead?

... Boy, you're really having a bad day - this is posted in the Cookies Forum.

I wouldn't use self rising flour, as too much leavening can cause a cake to fall...

Do you have any cake flour, that would be a good substitute. Replace one cup of AP with 1 cup (110 grams) plus 2 tablespoons (20 grams) sifted cake flour.
