Why I Choose Tapioca Flour

Tapioca flour is made from cassava root. You may be familiar with cassava flour.

In short, tapioca flour is used as thickener and starches.

Since I replaced regular white flour with almond flour, adding starch to this strawberry cake recipe is the key to develop that fluffy and moist texture.

You can also use arrowroot flour, which is also a type of starch.

I won’t go too much into details about these starches. Since We have a mission to get to – how to make these delicious strawberry upside down cakes.
