Substituting All-Purpose Flour with GF Cake & Pastry Blend
You will need:
Effects on Your Baking
Exceptionally neutral and clean — probably the most flavor-invisible GF blend you can make. The starches contribute virtually no taste of their own, which is exactly what you want for delicate cakes where butter, vanilla, citrus, or fruit flavors need to be front and center. Unlike blends with sorghum or oat flour, there's no grain flavor competing with your recipe's intended profile.
Best Uses
Pro Tips
- ·Use 1/2 tsp xanthan gum per cup for cakes; optional for pastry crusts
- ·Do not overmix — GF batters become gummy when overworked
- ·For pie crusts, keep butter ice-cold and handle dough as little as possible
- ·Cakes may bake 5 minutes faster than wheat versions — check early
