What it is

Cake meal is a finely ground flour made from baked cakes. It is typically produced by baking a cake and then processing it into small crumbs or meal. This process is often used to repurpose leftover or imperfect cakes.

Why it's used

Cake meal is used as a component in various baked goods and desserts. It can add moisture, flavor, and a tender texture to products like cake mixes, cookies, and crepes. It is also sometimes used as a binder or topping.

Health notes

Cake meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a carbohydrate source, similar to other flours. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for cake meal are not widely documented. As it is derived from cake, its nutritional profile reflects the ingredients of the original cake, including sugars and fats.

Allergen info

Cake meal may contain allergens depending on the ingredients of the original cake. If the cake contained wheat, milk, eggs, soy, or other major allergens, these would be present in the cake meal. It is not a major allergen on its own, but its derived allergens must be considered.
