Do you use the same amount of rice flour as regular flour?

No. If the recipe calls for all purpose flour and you want to use cake flour, add an additional 2 tablespoons cake flour per each cup called for in the recipe. If the recipe calls for cake flour and you want to use all purpose flour, then you do the opposite - use 1 cup all purpose flour minus 2 tablespoons per cup. But if using all purpose flour when the recipe calls for cake flour, be sure to sift it. Cake flour is lighter and more airy than all purpose flour.

What is the difference between cake flour and all purpose flour?

Cake flour is much finer. Sometimes it is combined with baking powder, so you have to check the box on the brand you buy because you won't need to add the baking powder in the recipe if the brand contains it. Cake flour gives a much lighter texture. If you need to substitute all purpose flour for cake flour, then use 1 cup minus 2 Tbsp. of all purpose flour for every cup of cake flour called for in the recipe.


What does flour do to a cheesecake?

When you add flour to a cheesecake recipe or see a recipe that calls for flour, the purpose is to adjust the texture and the way the cheesecake is baked. When there is flour or another starch present in a cheesecake it makes the texture denser and more cake-like. When there isn't a starch present in a cheesecake, this is the kind of recipe where usually it calls for a spring form pan, a water bath and lower temperature and this often will result in a smooth and creamy texture.
