Dough kneaded with low-gluten flour will be brittle, and it is often used to make cookies and cakes because there are fewer net structures. Low gluten flour is also called cake flour.

Sponge cake is made of low-gluten flour. Because low-gluten flour has no strength, the cakes made are particularly soft, loose and flat. Low-gluten flour is similar to cake flour and pastry flour in daily life, but cake flour contains wheat starch and emulsifier besides low-gluten flour. Low-gluten flour refers to flour with water content 13.8% and crude protein content less than 9.5%, which has the functions of nourishing heart and kidney, clearing heat and quenching thirst.

Extended data:

The difference between high gluten flour, low gluten flour, bread flour and cake flour for baking is all because of the soul of flour-gluten.

When the gluten content is high, it is called high gluten powder. This kind of flour will form a lot of wheat protein network structure during kneading, which makes the dough very tough. This is how the high-tech "glove film" is produced when making bread. The existence of glove film gives bread a layered feeling, and snacks that give full play to this feature, such as gold bricks. This is why high-gluten flour is also called bread flower. Lamian Noodles and soda cakes that require tensile strength and toughness are also suitable for high-gluten flour.
