Can I substitute self-rising flour in muffin recipe?

The recipe needs all-purpose flour and baking powder. and i heard that you can substitue self-rising flour for anything that calls for plain flour and baking powder, does it work well in making muffins? Or i can also use cake flour instead?Can I substitute self-rising flour in muffin recipe?
I am not sure about the first question but if you can get your hands on non-self-rising cake flour that is the best! Your muffins will turn out light and fluffier.Can I substitute self-rising flour in muffin recipe?
Yes





Self-Rising Flour Substitute





One cup self-rising flour equals:


1 cup all-purpose flour, plus


1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder, plus


1/8 teaspoons salt.
Despite you use self raising flour, I feel that a pinch of baking powder is must bcoz self raising flour is not that effective in its own. Try it.
