gluten-free Yellow Cake Recipe


cmom

Recommended Posts

cmom Contributor

I hve several recipes that call for gluten-free yellow cake mix. Went to the health food store yesterday and they had chocolate, spice, vanilla, white, devil's food, etc. but no yellow cake from any brand of gluten-free company. Does anyone know what company makes it or have a recipe from scratch? Thanks!!

It's in my long-term plans to come up with recipes like this. In the short-term, I think the easiest solution is to take a suitable white cake mix and add a few egg yolks for color.

There is an incredible recipe for Yellow Cake in the book by Annalise Roberts, gluten-free Baking Classics.

(also where the recipe for the Coconut Cake and Submarine Sandwich bread came from).

Jillian, how close to "normal" cake does the Yellow cake taste? How about the coconut cake--have you ever made it?

Cause You're Special Yellow Cake Mix is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I've made B-day cakes for the kids and all the relatives unknowingly rave at how great it is. I usually make cupcakes to put in the freezer if I can get any there before they're all gone!!! They're best hot, but good anytime. I ordered them in bulk last time from glutenfreegourmet.com

I ordered this cookbook and made the yellow cake this past weekend. I was delicious!! It's the best flour mixture I've found for cakes (brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour).

COMPLETELY AGREE

they are not well known, but when you try their products you will always get more and more.

I've made both, and they are both incredible!! Everyone that has eaten them has been astonished that they are gluten-free and told me I should start making them to sell. And this is from non-celiac people.

Both cakes are just as good or better than any gluten cakes I ever had.

I went to Border's today to look for Annalise Roberts' book, but all they had was Betty Hagman's. (Incidentally, all their gluten-free cookbooks were not in the cookbook section, they were well-hidden in the ALLERGY section :blink: , and yes, I suggested to the staff that they change that).

Are you allowed to post the recipes for the yellow cake and coconut cake, or would that be violating copyright? (My son't birthday is coming up.)

It's probably not very kosher to do that, but I imagine that if you cited the cookbook it would be ok. Something that I do (and always do before buying a cookbook) is use the search inside option for the book. I searched that book and found the recipe (it's on page 35). I don't think you can print it, but you can copy it down and try it. I just hate buying cookbooks when I don't know if the recipes are any good, so I try to make one recipe first before buying. You could always try that :)

You can post a recipe as long as you list the name of the book the recipe appeared in and the author :)

How do you do a search inside option?

Ok, here's a link to the book on Amazon:

Open Original Shared Link

On the picture of the book it says Search Inside, click that. Then it's going to ask you for login information (username & password) that you have if you've ordered from them before. Actually, when I did it just now it didn't ask. Anyway, when the online reader comes up, put "yellow cake" into the search box and several links will pop up. The recipe is on pg 35 :)

Nah, it wouldn't let me view the recipe because I haven't purchased anything from Amazon in the past year. :( Thanks, anyway...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
