Recipe says Ground rice. Can i use something else instead?

[Tortoise]

Making a chocolate cake. Recipe says to use 2oz ground rice.
Anything i can use instead?

[BoffinMum]

Semolina perhaps?

[Tortoise]

Haven't got any of that either!
Oh well! Will have to find some other recipe if there is no alternative.

[Tortoise]

Any other ideas? Looking at this cake recipe again!
Would leaving it out make a difference? Maybe adding 2oz extra sr flour?

2 oz extra flour i think

[Donk]

Cornflour? (since rice flour would not contain gluten, I would try this before ordinary flour)

[Katisha]

Add 2ox extra flour. The rice flour just changes the texture slightly - you will be fine without it.

[Tortoise]

Thanks, that make it much easier.

Tortoise You can substitute flour instead of ground rice but if you have ground rice it gives your cake a lovely nutty flavour & texture.
