Cake flour is a low protein flour that's milled into a fine consistency. It contains about 7-9% protein, while all-purpose flour, a harder flour, has anywhere between 10-12%. ... Cake flour's lower protein means less gluten is formed as you mix the batter together.

Does coconut flour have a taste?
