I Have Achieved...cake!

:lol:

I can't believe it! I've been trying for 2 years to get a cake to come out resembling the real thing, to no avail. I don't like the mixes I've tried because they are too sweet and don't come out much better texture-wise than the ones I make from scratch, so I'd given up on birthday cakes and just started to make ice cream cakes or cheese cakes whenever anyone in my family has a birthday. No more! I found a real live cake recipe that *works!* And it even makes good cup cakes! I'm so happy :P Who would have thought that *cake* would thrill me?!?

My youngest turned four yestorday, and I made her lemon cup cakes with the recipe. She wants "pink cake with white frosting" for her party this weekend, so I am going to add some strawberry milk mix to the cake batter for her party. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Here's the recipe...the secret ingredient is *mayonaise*, of all things...I thought that sounded completely nasty but it sure tasted good!

1 cup rice flour

1 1/4 cups corn starch or tapioca starch

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

3 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. xanthan gum

4 eggs

1 1/4 cup white sugar

2/3 cup mayonaise (gluten-free)

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons gluten free vanilla extract (or 3 tsp. lemon extract for a lemon cake!)

1. preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease and rice flour two 8 or 9 inch cake pans (or 4 cupcake pans).

2. Mix the rice flour, corn or tapioca starch, salt, baking soda, baking powder and xanthan gum together and set side.

3. Mix the eggs, sugar, and mayo until fluffy. Add the flour mixture, milk and vanilla or lemon and mix well. Spread batter into the prepared pans.

4. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Caks are done when they spring back when lightly touched or when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. (If the cake is not done in the center after 25 minutes, I turn down the oven to 200 and let them sit another 5 minutes, then check again). Let cool, take out of pans and frost!

Congrats!!

I love making something that works.

BTW, I just noticed that you need to update your kids ages on your signature, seein' as how the youngest is now four...

*blush*

Yup, looks like the signature is a wee bit out of date! Thanks.

I love it when I have a baking success now....I used to bake all the time, but it is so frustrating (and expensive!) when something doesn't turn out that I haven't been trying as much as I could have. I certainly never used to do a happy dance in the kitchen just because my cake came out of the pan in one piece!

Gluten free mayo cakes are the best!!! I found a recipe online at allrecipes.com. Yum!

O.k., I'm trying this one tomorrow, if dh ever gets home with the eggs! I need a good cake for my dds.

Congrats!! I'm happy for you!! :D

Someday I will have success with cake too... I just haven't found the right recipe yet with all the other restrictions.

I remember the day I made a layer cake and served it to my family. . .then went to take a big bite myself only to have them all scream "NO!". . .they couldn't tell the difference between the gluten-free cake I'd made and the "real" thing they were used to eating! The cake came from Rebecca Riley's Gluten Free Baking - the best baked goods ever. . .I promise. And though I've heard some people say her recipes are complicated, I've not found them so. . .if you baked from scratch before you went gluten-free you shouldn't have any trouble with her recipes. She even does strudel and baklava. . .yum.

      A confirmed diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease is required to participate in the study unfortunately. Apologies you are feeling miserable even though you have remained gluten-free, I hope you are able to receive further understanding as to why from the relevant medical professional. I am hoping to provide copies of the content used in this study following its completion end of this year so will make a note to post on here when the study is complete, a copy of the resources used from the group.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ? 
    • trents
      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.

      I’ve been taking a multivitamin however my doctors appointment is not available till next month for any specific vitamin tests

      Are you addressing possible/probable vitamin and mineral deficiencies through some serious supplementation?
