Question

Can I substitute gelatin powder for gelatin sheets in a cake recipe?

Pat Southwood-Theron

Community Answer

Yes, you can, but substituting sheet gelatin for powdered gelatin is perhaps the most controversial ratio known to the baking world. You see everything from 1 envelope equals 3 sheets up to 5 sheets. Three-and-a-half sheets seem to work best - sheets that are 3-inches by 5-inches.

Question

My gelatin ended up like little round jelly in water when I tried to bloom it. A bit like porridge, is that right?

Community Answer

No, that isn't right. You'll need to remake it. Follow the instructions carefully as it is likely you did something wrong last time.

Question

What is the brand of the gelatin?

Aramazing

Community Answer

I believe the brand for the powdered gelatin is RUF. The version they used in the picture seems to be a version from Mexico or Spain or another Spanish-speaking country, as you can see it says "gelatina" on the package. If you live in the United States, RUF is available there as well.
