Can I use a clear glass baking dish?

[@sammansfield21]

@vuyoxhanti473 if its the same (or pretty much the same size then it should be OK. If its alot deeper or alot thinner then it will alter how long it takes to cook

Finally a sheet cake recipe uses all purpose flour instead of cake flour 😊 I’ve been looking online for recipes and most of them use cake flour and I don’t have that so this is really useful!

[@mollybeee]

You can substitute 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (105 grams) all purpose flour and 2 tablespoons (14 grams) cornstarch for cake flour.

[@dawnanddust]

@@mollybeee oh thank you!!

[@marielym.g4329]

This cake recipe already has corn starch which basically creates cake flour, so I recommend you just do the recipe as it is.
