    1. All purpose flour is what we would use in the United States. I am currently in the UK. The flours are quite different and if you are in the UK I would suggest self rising or possibly bread flour

    2. Self raising flour contain rising agents, which one would use in batters for cake or muffins that call for baking powder or bicarb. In this, case the flour is used to thicken, not to rise. Use plain cake flour. I think bread flour is a coarser type of flour than cake flour. So, rather stick to plain white cake flour for this recipe.
