In a recipe that has 2 cups of flour, can you replace one of them with ground almonds?Or does the ratio change?Or anything else? Any help appreciated.

I'd weigh 1c flour & 1c almonds & see if it's the same weight. Would think almonds would weigh lighter.

One Cup Flour weighs 125g and One Cup Ground Almonds (or Almond Meal as some call it) weighs 160gms.

Depends what the recipe is...Some need the gluten and property's from flour.. others don't.

Thanks for you replies.I made the cake & used one of the little bags of GA think it was about 70gr.I put that in a cup (was about 1/2 filled) then filled up rest with flour, 2nd cup was straight flour.The cake was very nice & had that almondy taste texture to it.I had read that you need to use more raising agent when using GA so I used 3tsp of baking powder & that seemed to work out great.
