The Best Chocolate Cake Mix?

DD is going to a friend's birthday this weekend for an overnight. She's already going to miss out on the pizza that night so I asked her mom if there was any way I could help. She's getting an ice cream cake from DQ and was planning to make a regular chocolate cake as well. I volunteered to do it so DD could have some since I would have to make some sort of treat anyway. Since this is for another child, I want to be sure it is just as good as what they are used to. I was thinking Namaste since all the kids in DD's classed seemed to like the cookies on her own birthday, but I thought I'd solicit opinions first!

My friend made the Cherrybrook Farms? one for her daughter's birthday. She made it as cupcakes, but I think you can bake it as cake too. She got the frosting too. It was REALLy good. We couldn't tell the difference at all.

I just had Gluten Free Pantry's chocolate truffle brownies for the first time last night and they were AWESOME, totally shocked. I would bet if they make a cake mix it would be great too!!!

We love the Gluten-Free Essentials Extreme Chocolate Cake Mix. We have tried a lot cake mixes over the years and this one is by far our favorite. :) The mix actually makes 2-round pans or one 9 x 13. Alot of the other mixes only make one round pan. Sometimes I can find these in the health market of my local grocery store or I have also ordered them from The Gluten-Free Trading company. The spice cake mix is really good too!

By far, our favorite is the chocolate cake mix from Namaste. It's delicious and, when I made it for my daughter's birthday, everyone (including gluten eaters) totally loved it.

If it only needs to be gluten free, I like Pamela's Products best by far. I liked it more than Namaste, Gluten Free Pantry, and Sylvan Border Farms. I do the "Ultra Rich" recipe on the package. I personally don't have Celiac Disease, but my son & possibly husband do, so I actually have tasted it side by side w/ gluten chocolate cake and don't taste much of a difference except it's a little less sweet and has a stronger chocolate taste than something like Duncan Hines mix. And others who have eaten it who also do not have celiac disease had no idea it was gluten-free until after they noticed that my son was eating it, too.

I've used Namaste, Cherrybrook Kitchen, Gluten-Free Pantry, but the one I like best is Pamela's. I made it into a birthday cake for my 4 year old daughter. Her friends loved it! They couldn't tell the difference!

Those are wonderful, I have tricked my coworkers with them, they did not believe they were gluten-free.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      knitty kitty brought up something that also occurred to me. Namely, the reason you don't like bread and pasta may be that your body has been instinctively telling you, "this is harming me" and so you avoid it. Cake, on the other hand, has less gluten and lots of other goodies like sugar and butter and chocolate that mask what gluten there is.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shining My Light, While you're trying to decide on your next steps on your journey, I suggest you have a DNA test to look for Celiac genes.  Your genes don't change, so you do not have to be eating gluten for it.  If you have even one Celiac gene, it's more likely to be celiac disease, than NCGS.  TTg antibodies do not occur in NCGS.   There are different amounts of gluten in different breeds of wheat.  Wheat used for cookies and cakes and tortillas do not contain as much gluten as wheat used for bread and pizza crust.  Look at the crumb in cakes and tortillas.  There's only small bubbles. Gluten is in the matrix forming those bubbles.  Compare those to the big bubbly holes in artisan...

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By lehum · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! You contacted them specifically about their certified gluten-free products, or which products specifically?  So out of all the finished batches of nuts, they only test one?! That seems suboptimally safe... Maybe I will have to try Tierra Farms too...
