This excess water disperses <a href="https://kvalifood.com/wiki/gluten-science/">gluten</a> proteins so widely that they form only a loose, fluid network, fundamentally shifting the structural roles: <a href="https://kvalifood.com/wiki/starch-gelatinization/">starch</a> becomes the primary building material, and gluten plays a background role providing just enough cohesion to prevent crumbliness. Every technique in cake and batter cookery is designed to keep it that way.</p>
