substituting spelt
My birthday is coming up, and I thought I would bake a cake of which I could
eat a few bites, to satisfy my family who want to celebrate with me.
When substituting spelt for wheat, do you use cup for cup? I thought I had
saved some recipes that were recently posted, but I can’t find them. I can just
create something neutral, if I know the basic proportions. I have both white and
whole spelt flour.

I bake some cakes for my birthday too and am using white spelt. I just subsitute
spelt for regular white wheat flour for regular recep. Sometimes I add a TB of
Arrowroot or tapioca flour, when I feel I need a lot of gluten, but I think, I’m
just overcompensating.LOL
My cakes always turn out just dandy and company never knows I used spelt.

True, but when my grandmother makes me a cake, she’s 90 and
doesn’t get that I can’t have wheat, I’m not going to decline and
upset her. Even though I’ve never been that much of a cake fan.
Thomas was just saying that you don’t need to feel guilty when
you’re put into situations where you pretty much have to eat
avoids. Also, Peter says that he has to have an avoid now and
then and that as long as you are compliant most of the time, it
isn’t a problem.
