Abstract

This study evaluated the functional, proximate, physical, and sensory properties of cakes produced from wheat, “acha” (Digitaria exilis), and coconut residue flour blends. Four formulations were prepared: 100% wheat (control), 80:15:5, 75:20:5, and 70:25:5 (wheat–acha–coconut residue). The produced cake samples were subjected to functional, proximate, physical, and sensory analysis using standard procedures. Functional properties revealed that incorporation of “acha” and coconut residue significantly (p
