Could I Use Wholemeal Flour Instead?

Question

Accepted Answer

This recipe recommends that you use regular plain white flour as the flour portion of your homemade cake flour. However, some people might prefer to use something like wholemeal flour instead; wholemeal flour has a lot more fiber in it and is definitely the healthier option when it comes to your choice of flour.

However, one big problem with using wholemeal flour is that it tends to be a lot clumpier, and naturally has a higher amount of protein in it, as a result of the miller not removing the fat and protein-rich bran.

There are some brands of wholemeal flour out there that are ground to a smaller particle size and might be a good option, but generally speaking, you should probably stick to all-purpose flour.
