No. High gluten flour is used for baking breads, where a more chewy texture is desired. Lots of mixing and kneading "works up" the gluten in bread dough to create that chewiness. For cakes, which should have a delicate crumb, low gluten flour (pastry flour) is preferred.

What is the difference between high grade flour and plain flour?
High grade flour or strong flour has a higher content of gluten (a protein formed when flour is moistened) so is mor4e suitable for baking items that require this "strength" such as bread and dense cakes such as dried fruit cakes. A lower gluten content is desirable for more delicate textured items such as soft cakes and pastries.
What are the properties of plain flour?
A protein called gluten (glutenin) is responsible for the wheat flour's elastic properties. If there is more gluten in the flour, it makes it easier for the flour to have a rough texture and vice versa. High gluten flours are produced from hard wheat. Example of high gluten flour is bread and pizza. Cake flour is produced from soft gluten flour.
