When baking with super-fine cake flour, it's often best to sift it before measuring to ensure maximum aeration. Combine it with other dry ingredients like sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, gradually add the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. It's a direct substitute for all-purpose flour in most cake recipes, offering a noticeable improvement in tenderness.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness and fine texture, store the unused portion in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This prevents moisture absorption and keeps out pests. Properly stored, it will remain effective for its intended baking purposes.
