The research was aimed to formulation combination of composite flour as partly substitution of wheat flour from blend of wheat flour, sweet potato flour and taro flour. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) Non Factorial, with different level of substitution in percents, i.e :T1 = wheat flour (100%), T2 = wheat flour (75%) : sweet potato flour (25%), T3 = wheat flour (50%) : sweet potato flour (50%), T4 = wheat flour (25%) : sweet potato flour (75%), T5 = wheat flour (75%) : taro flour (25%), T6 = wheat flour (50%) : taro flour (50%), T7 = wheat flour (25%) : taro flour (75%). The parameters analysed were moisture content, ash content, protein content, fat content,carbohydrate content and hedonic value of colour, aroma, flavour and texture. The results showed were significant differences (p<0.5) difference formulation combination of composite flour with different level of substitution. The proximate composition showed that wheat flour had higher protein content (9.46%) and lower carbohydrate content (87.77%), while sweet potato flour had protein content(3.96%) and carbohydrate content (92.92%); taro flour had protein (5.62%) and carbohydrate content (92.83%). The sensory analysis of cake showed significant differences between 100% wheat flour and formulation combination of composite flour samples. It was concluded that formulation composite flour T4 into wheat flour gave the cake with the best overall quality acceptabily.
