Cake flour is finely milled, typically low-protein wheat flour used for batters requiring a tender texture and delicate crumb.
About Cake flour
Cake flour is a finely milled wheat flour intended for tender, fine-textured cakes and similar baking. It is usually white and soft-feeling, and typically has less protein than many all-purpose or bread flours. Its mild flavour and fine texture make it suitable for batters where a delicate crumb is desired.
It is sold plain or, in some markets, pretreated or blended with other ingredients; self-rising versions are a separate formulation. It is not the same as starch or gluten-free flour. Nutrition comparisons depend on whether the product is plain wheat flour, enriched, self-rising, or otherwise blended.
