    Is Cake Flour Gluten Free?

    Cake flour is not inherently gluten-free as it is typically made from wheat, which contains gluten. However, there are gluten-free cake flour alternatives available that are made from other ingredients such as rice flour, almond flour, or a blend of gluten-free flours.

    Benefits of Cake Flour

    Lower protein content (about 7-9%) compared to all-purpose flour

    Finely milled for a softer texture in baked goods

    Usually bleached, which affects its baking properties

    Produces lighter, fluffier cakes and pastriesIt’s important to note that cake flour, like other refined flours, is not particularly nutrient-dense. If you’re looking for flour with health benefits, you might consider whole grain flours, which retain more of the grain’s natural nutrients and fiber. Some examples include:

    Whole wheat flour

    Oat flour

    Almond flour

    Coconut flour

    Buckwheat flourThese alternative flours often provide more fiber, protein, and various micronutrients compared to refined cake flour.

    What is Tolerase® G?

    A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
    Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

     

    Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

    In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

    This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

    On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

    What is Gluten?

    Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

    How Tolerase® G Works

    It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

    Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

    Gluten Free Alternatives
    Here are five gluten-free alternatives to cake flour, along with short descriptions for each:
    Almond Flour:Made from ground blanched almonds, almond flour is high in protein and healthy fats. It provides a moist, dense texture to baked goods and imparts a slightly nutty flavor.
    Rice Flour:Made from finely milled rice, this flour is light and mild in flavor. It works well in combination with other gluten-free flours and is particularly good for creating crisp textures in baked goods.
    Coconut Flour:Produced from dried, ground coconut meat, this flour is high in fiber and protein. It's very absorbent, so recipes typically require less coconut flour compared to other flours, and more liquid ingredients.
    Tapioca Flour:Also known as tapioca starch, this flour is extracted from cassava root. It adds chewiness to baked goods and helps bind ingredients together, making it useful in gluten-free baking.
    Buckwheat Flour:Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is gluten-free. It has a strong, nutty flavor and is rich in nutrients. Buckwheat flour works well in pancakes, bread, and some cakes.

    Frequently
    Asked Questions

    What is a gluten-free substitute for cake flour?
    A common gluten-free substitute for cake flour is a blend of rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch. This combination mimics the light texture and fine consistency of cake flour. Another option is to use a pre-made gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, which often contains similar ingredients. For best results, add a small amount of xanthan gum to help bind the ingredients and improve the texture of gluten-free baked goods.
    Is there gluten in cake flour?
    Cake flour typically does not contain gluten, as it is usually made from soft wheat that has been finely milled and bleached. However, it's important to note that cake flour is not inherently gluten-free unless specifically labeled as such. Some brands may process cake flour in facilities that also handle gluten-containing products, leading to potential cross-contamination. For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's best to choose a cake flour that is certified gluten-free.
    Which flours are gluten-free?
    Gluten-free flours include rice flour, almond flour, coconut flour, and corn flour. Buckwheat flour, despite its name, is also gluten-free and a popular choice. Quinoa flour and chickpea flour are nutritious gluten-free options as well. It's important to note that oat flour is naturally gluten-free, but may be contaminated during processing unless specifically labeled as gluten-free.
    What is the difference between cake flour and regular flour?
    Cake flour has a lower protein content than regular all-purpose flour. This lower protein content results in less gluten formation, which produces a more tender and delicate texture in baked goods. Cake flour is also more finely milled than regular flour, giving it a softer, silkier texture. These properties make cake flour ideal for light, fluffy cakes and pastries, while regular flour is more versatile for a wider range of baking applications.
