I stick with the mixes... My absolute favorite is Pamela's brownie mix, it has the recipe for cake on the side of the bag. Every time I serve this it gets RAVE reviews... everyone loves it and no one can tell it's gluten-free.

I just made a Namaste chocolate cake for my sons 1st birthday. It was a hit. I didn't tell anyone it was gluten free, then when my MIL saw my 3 year old celiac son eating it, she was like, "wow, this is gluten free! it is great, I never would have guessed!". Some even had seconds.

I used olive oil instead of vegtable. It raised nice and high, and was super moist.

Pamela's makes a chocolate cake mix as well as a brownie mix. Both are great!

I thought the brownie mix is what everyone is using to make the cake?

I kinda dig Pamela's Luschious Chocolate Cake mix, very yummy and actually tastes like cake. My sister and I have tried some others that definitely tasted like chocolate, but didn't taste much like cake. I doubt it's low fat, but it sure is good!

I made a chocolate polenta cake (actually, I used carob), and added soy whipped cream and cherries, and it tasted exactly like grandma's black forest cake.

if you are interested in the recipe, lemme know. :)

yeah Pamela's has a chocolate cake mix too, but I like using the brownie mix because of the extra chunks of chocolate in it and it is soooooo moist and is always a big hit!

My dh made a chocolate birthday cake for me yesterday. OMG it was WONDERFUL. Let me say it again, OMG it was WONDERFUL. Kroger was out of Pamela's chocolate cake mix, so he saw that Pamela's brownie mix had a chocolate cake recipe on the side. He bought two, mixed both, and put 1/2 in each of two 8" round pans. He just used Pillsbury frosting, but this was possibly the best ever chocolate cake!!! Moist, and very chocolatey

Delicious.

....and what a hubby :)

Oh MY! I just made the Emeril 'flourless choc. cake' tonight for a dinner party. It tastes and has the texture of a godiva truffle. I sprinkled powdered sugar over it, had raspberry sauce, whip cream and garnished with raspberries. Beautiful and deeelish! Very rich though. But had to chime in and say 'what a hit'! Thanks for the suggestion!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
