How spelt flour compares with other flours & starches
A cup of spelt flour weighs 98 g, which puts it 3rd by weight among the 15 flours & starches on this site. Its nearest neighbours are almond flour at 96 g and cake flour at 114 g per cup.
That gap matters when you substitute by volume: use a cup of cake flour where the recipe wanted spelt flour and you have added about 16 g extra — 16% more than intended. Weighing instead of scooping removes the problem.
Frequently asked questions
- How many cups is 100g of spelt flour?
- 100 grams of spelt flour is about 1 cup.
- How many grams is 1 cup of spelt flour?
- 1 cup of spelt flour is about 98g — lighter than wheat flour (120g), so don't assume cup amounts swap evenly by weight.
- Can I substitute spelt flour 1:1 for wheat flour?
- Yes, you can swap spelt 1:1 by volume for all-purpose flour. Reduce the liquid slightly (spelt absorbs less) and mix gently — spelt's gluten is more delicate and over-kneading makes the crumb crumbly.
- What's the difference between white and wholegrain spelt flour?

- 200g of spelt flour is about 2 cups (200 ÷ 98 = 2.04).
