Quick! Flour question...

[arkansas mom]

Aside from running to the grocery store, what do I do if a recipe calls for all purpose flour, and all I have is self-rising?
I'll just wait here for you to enlighten me.

Substitutions
There is no substitute for self-rising flour, but you can easily make your own out of all-purpose flour. To make 1 cup of self-rising flour, take 1 cup all-purpose flour and add 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In some recipes that call for all-purpose flour and baking powder, you may be able to substitute self-rising flour if you decrease or eliminate the baking powder and salt called for in the recipe.
Do not use self-rising flour in recipes containing yeast unless the recipes specifically calls for it.

Bundt cake.
It calls for 3 cups a.p. flour, 2 tsp baking powder and .5 tsp salt.
How 'bout I just leave out the baking powder and the salt?
