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!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
