Funfetti Cake? Cream Of Mushroom Soup?

Okay, so I've been gluten-free for 3 weeks, and I have been "diving in" to buying replacement foods, learning the recipes, etc. There are just 2 favorite foods that I'm craving, and I can't find anything on them.

They are very unrelated, lol! But does anyone know how I can make gluten-free cream of mushroom soup? And/or gluten-free Funfetti cake (that's the white cake with the sprinkles inside)?

Thanks in advance to anyone who has figured either of these out!

Hi,

I have 2 recipes for cream of mushroom soup, but none for the cake.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 cup dry milk powder (we use a non-dairy creamer)

1 cup white rice flour

2 Tbsp dehydrated minced onions (can be omitted)

Thanks, Amy! Those are so helpful.

Now I just need to find a way to make my favorite cake again, and I'll be ready to go (at least for now, lol.)

Health Valley makes a gluten free Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soup. They can be a little difficult to find for some people though.

Progresso makes a "Creamy Mushroom" soup that is gluten free. I thicken it a bit on the stove with a bit of gluten free flour.

hmmmmmmm.....I don't really know what Funfetti cake is (but I want some :rolleyes: ) but I know that Namaste makes some really great cake mixes, and those might work. the sprinkles.........I don't know but you can check ingredients on those. Would colored sugar work? the really large, course crystals - I h ave a fabulous multi-colored package in square cylinder I purchased at a gourmet grocery. I think those are mosly gluten-free.

We like the 'Cause You're Special yellow cake. I have found it in a health food store here but you can also order it online. It looks just like a regular white cake. I haven't tried this, but I would think you could use some sprinkles just mixed in. A lot of Wilton's cake decorating supplies are gluten-free but you have to call to verify.

I wouldn't try the Namaste vanilla cake with this because it makes a very dense, brown cake.

Almost all Wilton candy sprinkles are gluten-free. Also the same with the Cake-Mate brand found in most stores. We use a ton of sprinkles at my house and the only things that I have found to have gluten in them are the edible shapes "pictures" of Barbie, Scooby-doo, Looney Tunes, etc. that either go directly on the cake or have a tab that can stick into a cupcake. They all had wheat starch in them, the rest are fine.

So you could mix a gluten-free cake mix and then stir in the candy sprinkles right before you pour it into the baking pan. It works great.

I use both of these with great luck. I can find the Health Valley ones at the local health food store as well as Kroger and Publix. You might check there and if they don't have it, ask your grocery store to order it.

As for the funfetti cake...... I'm a cake mix girl myself. The BEST one I've found is Cause you're Special. I make cupcakes and freeze for later. I bet you could just make the cake and add in some sprinkles and bake as you normally would. I order these mixes from glutenfreegourmet.com or you can get it from gluten free mall. I think Amazon even carries them now!!!!!!

Good news--Progresso Cream of Mushroom soup is gluten free--I use it a lot and love it. Actually, many Progresso soups are gluten-free--but of course not the noodle or barley varieties, and not the tomato basil, but I've had the lentil and some of the vegetable ones, and they're good--I've had no problems. And these you can find in the regular grocery store, and stock up when they go on sale. As always, read labels. Health Valley also has a cream of mushroom and a cream of chicke that are good and gluten-free. B) Good luck.

Thanks everyone!

I think I am going to try the Cause You're Special yellow mix and add the sprinkles - sounds good to me.

On the soup, glad to hear the news on Progresso, and thanks to all for the recipes as well.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream?

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
