I think the different flour, whether all-purpose or cake, would have more of an impact on the amount of liquids needed, less on the leavening. Cake flour has a higher starch content and a lower protein content, so it's better at absorbing liquids and can handle more wet ingredients than all-purpose can, which is why cake flour is great in cakes.

Hi Sally, while I would not suggest replacing oil a fat with yogurt, such a substitution would require you to add baking soda to help achieve a good rise.

The baking soda would help neutralize the acidity of the yogurt so that the baking powder can do its job. Hope that helps. Your email address will not be published.
