What does CAKEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Having the soft, crumbly texture of cake rather than being dense, chewy or fudgy.
Bakers use cakey to describe a brownie or cookie that rises light and crumbles easily, in contrast with a dense, gooey version of the same treat. The word compares texture rather than flavor, so a cakey brownie can still taste rich even though it feels airy. Recipe writers often let readers choose between a cakey or fudgy result by adjusting the amount of flour or eggs.
