Question RE: BLACK CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO CAKE in T&T

[traca]

The recipe says "1/2 cup cake and pastry flour"

Does that mean:

1/2 cup cake flour

AND

1/2 cup pastry flour

or is that Cake/Pastry flour the same thing, hence 1/2 cup (cake) flour, total.

I'm confused. Was thinking about making this for Easter brunch but 1/2 cup flour in the wrong direction can make a big difference...

Any thoughts?

I'd just use 1/2 cup cake flour, total.

I posted the recipe. See inside.

1/2 of cake and pastry flour is just that. "Cake and Pastry flour is a kind of flour, at least it is here in Canada. In total use 3 cups of flour.

Thanks Sylvia. It confused me for a moment. Here in the US, it's just called cake flour.
