Easy Christmas Cake

Hi, I have purchased Bobs Red Mill all purpose baking flour to make a Christmas cake.  I really want something relatively easy, and was wondering if someone can direct me to a simple recipe whereby I can use this flour and make a cake that's half decent.

 

Thank a lot.

What about a Christmas Yule log? Got a jelly roll pan? We made gluten-free pumpkin rolls using the standard Libbey's Pumpkin recipe off the can and it was yummy! Here is a chocolate one, but I would sub out the white frosting for a chocolate one decorated with shaved chocolate, piped holly to make it look like a log.

How did the Christmas cake turn out?  If you can post the recipe you used and your comments for gluten free version.

 

It looks like Christmas cake is different for each nationality.  ????

Hi, I am English and a traditional Christmas cake has lots of fruit, nuts and alcohol in it...I made it yesterday, but it will be a week before I eat any of it, and so because I have had a few disasters :unsure:  with baking recently  I wont post the recipe yet, I want to make sure it tastes fine, also I have added rum to it, and i plan on adding more today and in five more days...so once I know it tastes fine I will post the recipe. :D

I've never heard of cake enhancer either.  The King Arthur Cake Enhancer has this for ingredients:

INGREDIENTS: EMULSIFIER (RICE STARCH,
POLYGLYCEROL ESTERS OF FATTY ACIDS,
MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES OF FATTY
ACIDS).
Produced in a dedicated gluten-free, allergenfree*
manufacturing facility.
*free of the 8 most common food allergens

The KAF cake enhancer is something they use in all their cake recipes but they say is optional.  It makes stuff stay softer and moist longer.  Ive heard some great things about it but never tried it myself.

I never have used an enhancer. Must be the same stuff that is in Twinkies! Rumor has it that they can last a decade or more! Commercial bakers need a long shelf life, but I prefer to eat most thing right out of the oven or I freeze it. Need more moisture? Add more oil or butter.

I just found the recipe online for the Log/roll for easy reference. I did not realize it mentioned an enhancer. Sorry!

I have used a gluten free flour replacer that had gelatin.  I did help keep the shape and moisture for cakes.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
