I would just try it to see how it works. It shouldn't taste THAT different. If not, then spend $4.99 on a bag of all purpose flour.
All purpose. If a recipe uses self-rising flour, it will say so.

You need a soft flour for making cakes, self raising flour and all purpose flour are both normally 'soft' flours so either can be used.
How can I tell if flour is self-rising or all purpose? How can I tell if flour is self-rising or all purpose?
Self-rising Flour
not same
No, self-rising flour cannot be converted back into all-purpose flour. Salt and a leavening agent, usually baking powder, are added to regular flour to make self-rising flour, and cannot be removed by any practical method.
Definitely not. All purpose flour is also called plain flour, If you are planning to substitute self raising flour for plain flour, put a teaspoon of baking powder in it as well. DONT substitute plain flour for self raising flour
No! self rising flour has additives in it. ( salt and a leavening agent)
Cake flour is a finer grained powder than all purpose. Self rising means it already has the baking powder added. All purpose may be used for either, but you would have to add baking powder, and the end product would not be quite as delicate.
9 ounces of self rising flour, as opposed to cake flour or all purpose flour.
Self-rising flour has soda in it. All Purpose is basic flour, so you'd have to add soda to it. Cake Flour has been milled finer than the other two, so neither of these would make good cake flour.
Yes. Just adjust the measurements of baking powder and/or salt to work with the amount that comes in the self-rising flour. Usually, the self-rising flour doesn't have enough baking powder for the normal cake recipes.
Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder for each cup of all-purpose flour and sift them together.
