Hello, fellow baker,

The answer is NO! Let’s start with a little history on Flour. Wheat flour is on of the most important ingredients in making baked goods. It provides structure and mass to most bakers’ products such as cakes, cookies, breads and pastries.
Since this one ingredient is so important to bakers it is important to understand the nature of it. To start there is hard and soft wheat. Hard wheat contains greater quantities if glutenin and gliadu which are the components that make-up gluten when the flour is moistened mixed. Gluten is a determining factor for the amount of protein present which can make baked goods tougher. Hard Flours are used in the makers of breads and yeast products. Soft wheat have a lower count of the gluten bi products and is used for cakes, cookies, and pastries.
The household flours most commonly used and or purchased are All-purpose and self-rising flour. However, commercial bakers are privy to a wide variety of flours with different qualities, characteristics, and specific purpose such as cake flour, bread flour and pastry flour. The specific purposes of these flours are clearly defined by their title.
So why cake flour over all-purpose flour? Well first and foremost the specificity of its nature. All-purpose flour is just a little weaker than bread flour and by its name all-purpose it can be used for any and all things, which is not always a positive. Cake flour on the other hand is soft wheat with a low-gluten content which leads to a softer/lighter product. Cake flour is very soft and smooth in texture. The ultimate goal of a cake baker is a light, fluffy cake with a tender crunch which leads to a moist cake.
The addition of starch in the making of cake flour allows it to handle large amounts of fat and sugar with out collapsing. Cake flour is finely milled which keeps the product from getting too heavy. All these elements make for an exceptional cake. So whenever possible us flours specific to your needs. Cake, Please! also known as www.theorignalcakeplease.com uses cake flour for all their cake recipes.
