Cake Flour
Cake Flour is a finely milled wheat flour used mainly for tender baked goods like biscuits, pie crusts and delicate cakes; it’s often chosen where a softer, more tender texture is desired than with all‑purpose flour. Nutritionally, Cake Flour is a refined cereal ingredient that provides modest protein—about 9g per 100g—but is low in fiber and many micronutrients compared with whole‑grain flours. In practical terms, it gives good baking performance for light pastries while offering a relatively high protein quality for a refined flour, though it lacks the fiber and antioxidant phytochemicals found in less processed grain options.
