Cake flour


Cake flour is made from a low protein ( 6 - 8%), fine-textured soft wheat so the flour contains a high amount of starch and less gluten resulting in lighter, less dense textures or a more "tender, fine crumb" for various cake and pastry items.

They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so.
