cakier
Less smooth, more clumped
Cakier is the comparative form of cakey, describing something with more cake-like qualities—soft, crumbly, or dense in texture.
Makeup that is cakier sits more heavily on the skin, looking thick and unnatural: This foundation gets cakier as the day goes on.
Baked goods might turn out cakier than intended when too much flour is added.
