cakiness
Flaky, dry quality
Cakiness is the quality of being cakey—dry, dense, and prone to clumping rather than smooth application.
The term appears most often in makeup contexts: The foundation had a cakiness that settled into fine lines.
It can also describe food that's overly dry or crumbly: The frosting had an unpleasant cakiness.
