Just made my first cake from scratch tonight. It was edible, but had a strong flour taste. Any reason why this could be?
Also, does anyone have a preference for almond or coconut flour?

Neither. I'll use all purpose flour and cornstarch and sift them to make cake flour (see here) But I never pack flour when I'm measuring it. Feel like the only time I'll pack something into a measuring cup is brown sugar.

Flour aside, I've found not all from-scratch cake recipes are created equally. I've made some great ones and some pretty bad ones. That's what I love about the internet and comments under recipes. Sometimes that's where I've found modifications that make the recipe better.
