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...

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
