To measure Softasilk® cake flour, spoon into measuring cup; level with spatula. Softasilk cake flour is pre-sifted. Simply spoon the flour lightly into a measuring cup and level with a spatula or knife. To substitute Softasilk cake flour for all-purpose flour, use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of cake flour for each cup of all-purpose flour in the recipe. There are approximately 7 cups of flour in this 2-pound box. Helpful hints: Ingredient substitutions: Softasilk cake flour can be used in any cake recipe, even if it calls for all-purpose flour. Just use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour for each cup of all-purpose flour in the recipe. For best results, use butter or margarine in your cake recipes. We do not recommend substituting vegetable oil spread for butter or margarine.Warnings:Contains wheat ingredients. May contain egg, milk and soybean ingredients.

Question 2

what do you mean when you say blend dry ingredients into mixture.  I used a hand mixer and my cake was a flop.  It wouldn't get done inside.

Accepted Answer

In all likelihood, the term "mixture" is referring to the wet ingredients (i.e. milk, vanilla, eggs, etc.). Thus, "blend dry ingredients into mixture" is basically directing you to add the flour, baking powder/soda, salt, etc. into the wet ingredients. 
If your cake is not done inside, I suggest you make sure your temperature is correct (350 degrees) and that your oven temperature is accurate. Most cakes bake from 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of your pan.
