For The Best Carrot Cake Texture, Skip The Cake Flour
By Greta Pano
Texture can make or break a carrot cake, which is why you should
skip the cake flour and
use all-purpose flour the next
time you have carrot cake cravings.
The higher protein content of all-purpose flour yields a higher gluten content, which will result in a carrot cake that is tasty with a moist and dense texture.
Cake flour is great for super light and airy baked goods, but it’s not strong enough for more dense, moist desserts with fruits or veggies like carrot cake.
All-purpose flour, on the other hand, is perfect for making sturdier and less crumbly pastries and can be used for basically any baked goods recipe.
