Brand name vs. generic brand food products

Although packaging looks to be the same, the ingredients are not necessarily. It is always important to read your labels carefully especially if on a special diet such as low sodium or low sugar.

Substitution: Cake flour

1 cup minus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour well sifted

Substitions: baking powder

There are various substitutes for baking powder.  Baking powder is ant-acid plus an acid, so any acid plus baking soda:   equal parts lemon juice, vinegar, cornstarch or in food allergies: vitamin C crystals.
