Abstract: Mycoprotein powder (MPP), produced from Fusarium venenatum , is a sustainable protein source increasingly applied in novel foods. This study investigated the effects of substituting low-gluten flour with MPP (0%–80%) in chiffon cake formulations. Batter rheology, starch pasting behaviour, baking performance, nutritional composition, and sensory quality were systematically assessed. Results showed that increasing MPP levels enhanced protein and fibre contents and improved water/oil retention, but also raised batter viscosity, reducing aeration, and cake volume at higher substitution. Rapid Visco Analyser analysis confirmed altered gelatinisation due to protein–starch–water interactions. Cakes with 40% MPP exhibited the best balance of nutritional improvement, crumb structure, and sensory acceptance, while higher levels produced denser textures and darker appearance, reducing consumer appeal. These findings demonstrate that MPP can be successfully incorporated into aerated bakery products, offering a pathway to sustainable, high-protein foods aligned with modern dietary and environmental goals.
