What's the difference between white and brown eggs?
Don't judge an egg by its shell. Whether an eggshell is white or brown is determined by the breed of the hen who laid the eggs. It has absolutely nothing to do with taste or nutritional value.
The only time you may want to consider the color of the eggs you're buying is around Easter and Passover time, since white eggs work better for dyeing and decorating purposes.
Cake flour is flour made from the softest part of the wheat kernel. It contains less protein than other types of flour and is finely ground and bleached. This increases its ability to absorb water and disperse fat and air, making it ideal for cakes, cookies and other baked treats that benefit from a light texture.
If you don't have cake flour, you can substitute 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour for each cup of cake flour required, or 3/4 cup all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
