When substituting AP flour for cake flour, which of the following do you use?
One source said: 1 C cake flour= 3/4 C AP flour + 2 T cornstarch; and another source said: 1 C cake flour = 1 C AP flour minus 2 T.
Thanks.
Just did a bit of research, and all but one source said to remove flour and replace with cornstarch. I like the Wiki Answers explanation best

Basically says that you are reducing the protein content of the flour by subbing cornstarch for part of the flour.
I just take out the flour and don't add cornstarch.
I remove 2 TBLESPOON for each cup

yes, thatt's the same that I do, I didn't read the original amounts the OP put up! ONly remove 2 Tbsp Ap flour per cup.
I like to use 3/4 cup AP and 2 Tbsp. cornstarch (because adding the cornstarch maintains the same volume).
