Cake Flour Vs. All-Purpose Flour

It’s a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake, right? You’ve got your mixing bowl, spoon, eggs, sugar and some baking fat. Bust out a bag of flour and you’re ready to start baking! Now… Which flour is best to reach for? Will just any flour do?

Depending on what you’re baking, the flour can make all the difference. Of the many wheat flours out there, it’s the difference in protein content that gives a loaf of bread its hearty texture and a luscious layer cake its silkiness.

All purpose flour is, much like it sounds, a good all-around flour for making muffins, sweet breads or whipping up a batch of waffles. All-purpose flour may have 10-13% protein content and will, generally speaking, get the baking done. Goods baked with all-purpose flour should have a soft yet relatively dense and somewhat chewy texture.

Cake flour, by contrast, is a low protein flour that is ideal for baking, you guessed it, cake! Fluffy, smooth, melt-in-your- mouth cake! Protein wise, it should be the “weakest” flour on the shelf with less than 8% protein.
