What can be used to make cakes without low-gluten flour?
As we all know, low-gluten flour is generally used to make cakes, but the flour often used by many families is not low-gluten, but high-gluten flour, which is also commonly known as wheat flour. The cake made of wheat flour will taste and shape alike. The cake made of low-gluten flour is particularly soft, large and flat. But low-gluten flour is rare. Generally, you can buy it in a food store that specializes in baking supplies and food additives. It is specially used for making cakes.
If there is no low-gluten flour at home, you can also make low-gluten flour by mixing ordinary flour and corn starch at home according to the ratio of 4: 1. Because starch contains very little fat and protein, it is mixed with ordinary flour with protein content of about 13%, which reduces the content of protein in ordinary flour and makes it play the role of low gluten, so it can be used as low gluten flour.
