No plain flour only self raising....

gypsy61, May 6, 9:02pm
I have a recipe for a chocolate cake that has three cups of plain flour, three teaspoons of baking powder and two teaspoons of baking soda.
My problem is i only have self raising flour.Would i just put three cups of self raising flour and baking soda and leave out the baking powder?Thanks.

That's what I would do, and keep my fingers crossed.

Keep Soda in,leave out the BP.

self raising flour can be made with
1 cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of BP.

So, use 3 cups of SR flour - leave out the BP, and retain the soda
