Here’s the beautiful truth: You don’t need a specialty ingredient to make a stunning cake. You just need a little ingenuity and two pantry staples.
So the next time you’re craving a slice of tender, melt-in-your-mouth cake, don’t let a missing bag of flour stop you. You are resourceful. You are clever. You are a champion of the quick fix.
Go forth, remove those two tablespoons of flour, add that cornstarch, and sift like nobody’s watching. Your cake—and your taste buds—will be absolutely, positively thrilled. You’ve got this, baker. Now go make something delicious.
