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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone.

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
