No. Vital wheat gluten is the primary ingredient of wheat gluten (seitan), used by vegetarians as an alternative to meat. You can use a little vital wheat gluten to increase the gluten content of cakes, but you cannot make cakes solely with vital wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is used to provide stickiness or sponginess when using whole grains that have insufficient gluten by themselves, or to increase the chewiness of breads. Pure gluten flour or vital wheat gluten or powdered gluten, however, is intended for those who wish to make their own wheat gluten from scratch. It is often mislabelled as gluten flour, which itself has more gluten than flour but not enough to make seitan.
