Abstract
Wheat flour was replaced with cassava flour (30 to 100%) to produce cake. Composition and pasting properties of the flours and their composite flour blends were determined. Baking and sensory qualities of the resulting cake samples were evaluated. Protein starch and fiber contents of the cassava and wheat flours were 1.5; 71.50; 1.94% and 10.9; 69.89; 2.81% respectively, which significantly influenced their pasting and baking characteristics and also reflected in their composite blends. Peak, holding, breakdown and final viscosities of the blends ranges from 90.1 to 121.1; 51.6 to 82.7; 38.21 to 42.62; and 93.4 to 125.8 Rapid Visco Unit (RVU) respectively. Specific volume decreased from 1.49 to 1.18 ml/g. Cake of comparable qualities with that obtained from wheat were obtained within 40% substitution level.
