Arghhhhhhhh MARSLADY!!!!!!!!!

[Nbg]

Please please please tell me there is something else I can use instead of self raising flour?

I have 2 bags of blinkin plain but no self raising

Hang on--I think I have a remedy!

have you got any baking powder?

Yes I have baking powder...

In American Measurements, for each cup of flour, you need to add 2 tsp of baking powder.

ooh... let's see what sunchowder suggests!

I'm just back from MacDonald's myself. lol

I'd never guessed

So whats the equivilent of a cup to an oz/g?

Hang on ....sorry, let me do my conversion...

1 cup [US] = 0.946 352 95 cup [metric] Still looking shit up, hang on.

1 cup [US] = 8 ounce [US, liquid] still screwing around here...

You star

1 ounce [US, liquid] = 1.040 842 735 ounce [UK, liquid]

1 Teaspoon [US] = 1.387 790 314 Teaspoon [UK]

So....if you can do all that you can make the damn cake!!!

Ahhh thanks NBG

So it's 9oz flour which would mean just 2 tsp of baking powder?

Sounds right to me.

Won't it taste weird though because the cake already requires 3 tsps of the stuff anyway?

The most I would put in would be 1 1/4 teaspoons of powder.

and the 3 it asks for?

No more questions now, promise

nah!

the baking powder is to make it lighter and help it rise.

if it tastes bad...... just buy SELF-RAISING flour next time [evil laugh]

Just because it already as the 3 in ityou know? I hope this cakes comes output the 2 in if you feel confident--up to you. Wish I was there!

Right just 2 tsps of baking powder going in then.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Head explosion!

Thank you very much SC

I hope you are doing the original 3 tsp?????????

Welcome, any time!!

If you look on the pot of baking powder, it usually tells you how much to add to plain flour.

5 altogether.

Oooh don't confuse me!

So put in 2 tsp for the flour and the original 3. Yes?

Yes
