If you want to make a cake and can't buy low-gluten flour, I suggest you make a cake with high-gluten flour or medium-gluten flour and corn starch ~
Low flour can be mixed with flour (never use the kind called "jiaozi flour", which has a lot of gluten) and corn starch in the ratio of 4: 1. If you want to reduce gluten, you can add some corn starch.
I always make muffins and snacks like this, and I can't buy them. I went to all the supermarkets and didn't get any. I finally learned to make my own low-gluten powder cream. We all buy gold diamonds. I wonder if I can buy it.
Low gluten flour is a kind of flour. The classification of high gluten flour and low gluten flour is related to the content of protein in flour. The protein content of high gluten flour is above 10%, and the protein content of low gluten flour is 6.5~8.5%. The content of protein near wheat husk is higher than that near the center, and the content of protein in hard wheat is high, which is generally used to produce high-gluten flour. Soft wheat is used to produce low-gluten flour. Sponge cake uses low-gluten flour, and fat cake uses medium-gluten flour. Because low-gluten flour has no gluten, the cakes made are particularly soft, loose and flat. The structure of oil cake itself is looser than sponge cake, and the structure of cake is further strengthened by using medium gluten powder. So as to become more compact and not loose. Raw flour is corn flour or water chestnut powder, which is usually used for cooking.
Medium gluten flour-General purpose flour is common in steamed buns, steamed bread, jiaozi and pancakes. The flour that is not specially marked in the general recipe is this.

Self-raising flour—I'm not sure what spontaneous flowers are for. According to the instructions on the package, it is said that even muffni cake can be made, but I won't use it to make cakes. I usually use it to bake cakes, which is a little softer than flour that doesn't usually make dough. It used to be used to make pizza, which is not as delicious as dough, but it tastes a little bit smaller than the one without dough.
