Hi Randi
We’ve recently moved from sea level to 4700 ft. I’ve always baked but this is quite a challenge. Things are not turning out as expected, they don’t seem to be browning or rising very much even when following a high altitude recipe. I am using a sugar substitute could that have any effect on it?
Hi Lori,
Thank you for contacting me. Please know that all the recipes in My Cookbooks have already been adjusted to High Altitude –but reading the TIPS Section at the beginning of my cookbooks does help when measuring. It is not as difficult as you believe with the proper adjustments based on over 40 years of use. Also Many of my recipes can be adjusted for various food Allergies or for Special dietary wants or needs! I commonly use Xylitol when baking for those who cannot have sugar or just to lower my own amount of sugar!
Xylitol works great when baking at high or low altitudes. Also it is important for you to know that adjustments for high altitude do begin around 4000 ft. above sea level, thus, I thank you for reaching out to me.
The adjustments listed ion my website are for your convenience.
Have a great day!

Regarding your recipe for Lebkuchen, does it really call for 16 cups of flour or is it a typo? Thanks
Hi Sandy,
Thank you for asking. In answer, yes it does. Look at the whole recipe for this one does include 4 cup brown sugar and another 4 cups of Molasses! Try it and let me know if you like it.

I am preparing to make the Chocolate Mayo cake into cupcakes at 6000 ft. Do you have any suggestions and guidelines on temperature and time for cupcakes?
HI Sharon,
Thank you for contacting me. The recipe remains the same as does the temperature.
My neighbor has made this recipe into large cupcake, thus decrease the oven time. Depending on the size of the cupcakes, I would regular sized ones after 13-15 minutes by inserting a toothpick into a middle Cupcake and if crumbs are attached, let them bake for a few more minutes. They will be smaller, but always test the product for doneness prior to removing from the oven!ENJOY as this recipe is fabulous! OH, and if you wish to top it off with Chocolate creme cheese icing, simply add 1/2 cup of dark cocoa to the Icing recipe!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

And I am so sorry I have not gotten back to you sooner, I just received your message today, 11/18/18. And Please do remember than when baking at High Altitude to always decrease the Baking Soda and Powder slightly!

Hello,
Just wanted to let you know that I had bookmarked your banana bread recipe a year or so ago and it’s the best I’ve used! I came back today to use the recipe (again!) and I noticed that it’s missing… I can’t find it anywhere on your site… just thought I’d let you know!
