In order to increase the use of waxy barley, cakes were made and the textural and sensory properties were investigated. The moisture content of cakes made out of waxy barley grain and flour were 51.0 and 52.1%, respectively. L values in color of the waxy barley cakes tended to decrease during 3 day storage at 15$^{\circ}C$. Textural analysis showed that there were no differences among two waxy barley and waxy rice cakes in hardness at fresh state. But after 3 day storage at 15$^{\circ}C$, the hardness of the waxy barley cake was lower than that of waxy rice cake. These results implied that the degree of retrogradation of waxy barley cake might be low due to its high dietary fiber content. The hardness and adhesiveness of the waxy barley cake thawed after 15 day freezing were not significantly different from those of the fresh cake. In sensory evaluation, the overall preference of waxy barley cake was lower than that of waxy rice, but the sensory score of the cake made of waxy baley flour was above 4 point in the 5 point scale, showing a patency of waxy barley for the cakes.
