White flour is wheat flour. The asker may intend to ask whether whole wheat flour can be substituted for white flour. The answer is yes, but the final product will be more dense and heavy than when made with white flour. Home bakers often compromise by replacing 1/3 to 1/2 of the flour in a recipe with whole wheat flour, then use white flour for the remaining amount.
