Hi, whole-wheat pastry flour and all-purpose white flour cannot be used interchangeably without impacting the texture of the cake. The best substitute for whole-wheat pastry flour would be a combination of ½ cake flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour.

I am using lt. Brown sugar and substituting KA all purpose for the wheat flour as I don’t have any. Is this O.K?

Hi there – good question! There are few ways:
If you leave the jar out in room temperature, it will slowly start to melt
You can also scoop out the desired amount and microwave the solid until it melts (you won’t need a lot of time – it’s similar to melting butter)
Last, we sometimes run the jar under hot water (or submerge in a bowl of hot water) to get it meltng quickly
Hope this helps!
