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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
