Hi everyone, I have a low fat cupcake recipe and it calls for All Purpose. Is it just Plain Flour or Cake Flour/ Self Raising Flour? Here is the link to the recipe. I'm making Vanilla Cupcakes.

Thanks in advance for any help! 
All the flours you listed are considered white flour.....

P.S. Of course, after figured out the above equivalents, I came across this handy bit of info:

bashini - APF is just another term used for Plain Flour.
All Purpose means - it can be used for all purpose's <---- does that look like its spelt right - 
i digress.
Meaning it can be used for cakes, pancakes, scones, a sauce etc.
I think Nigella Lawson has APF in a few of her cookbooks and then in braketes it reads (Plain Flour)
Just helps those living in other countries to know what is being spoken about.
If i see a recipe that reads White Flour - then i use Plain Flour.....compared to say Wholemeal Plain Flour.
Good grief - hope i am not confusing you

As George Bernard Shaw said, "England and America are two countries separated by a common language."
Don't know why he didn't include AU and NZ...
So I made the second batch with self raising flour and they were much much better!
