what n interesting recipe. the cake looks so moist and delicious!
Yummy and mouthwatering...
I saw this recipe but since I have never expected this to be avail here, I shelved it.
How is the taste? and where is this flour avail here?
tks
Edith, you can find kamut flour in Carrefour Suntec City. The recipe I posted here is rather different already from the original recipe. The taste is simple but it delivers a different flavour because of the kamut. Thats why I decided to use vanilla seeds and a little condensed milk to somehow add some richness and flavour to it. Try toasting it the following day it taste even better.
kamut flour? that's new. The texture looks really good!
Thanks Anne. Have a good holiday back home.
Hi Anne, what's kamut flour? Since I don't think it's available here in Manila, what's the next best thing?
My mouth watered and longed to have it with tea just reading through the recipe and looking at the picture.:) Your blog is bad news for dieting foodbloggers like me. But no way will I NOT come back for more temptation. :)
I'm always pleasantly surprised by gluten free flours. This cake looks so pretty, golden and tasty!
Anneski, I can only think of just plain all purpose flour to substitute for the kamut. Cornmeal will also do but it will impart a different flavour.
can try this variations :
Nutmeg Pound cake- substitute whole wheat or spelt for kamut flour, add 1/2 tsp nutmeg to the dry ingredients
wheat and chocolate-substitute whole wheat or spelt for the kamut. Add 3 1/2 ounces grated semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate with the last addition of eggs
I hope this helps :-)
