FINALLY...a while back Guhlia gave me the link to the Gluten Free White Cake at Allrecipes...

I've been making it, tinkering....well....follow the recipe, add 1 Tbs vanilla pudding powder....

I made them today, and I made a whipped chocolate ganache frosting for them! OH MY!!!! They tasted like the Hostess cupcakes with the little whilte squiggly on them! SO GOOOOOD!!!

Whipped Chocolate Ganache Frosting

1 Cup Chocolate Chips

1 Tbs butter

1 Tbs milk

2 Cups powdered sugar

Mix chips, butter, milk in a microwave safe bowl. Melt at 30 second increments, stirring each time.

Once chips are melted, pour into the mixer bowl with the whipping attachement. Add 1 cup powdered sugar while on lowest setting - 1/4 cup at a time. Once that is in well, add the 2nd cup same way. THEN...let hit whip on high speed for about 4 minutes.

Dip the cupcakes in and get them coated ontop.

SO GOOD!!!! NO ONE who eats gluten would ever be able to tell they were gluten free. NO ONE. :D

Thanks so much. I'm always on the look out for good "goody" recipes. I take a cooler when we go places for my son. I have an array of substitutes. One Sunday morning his class at church had animal cookies. He had to eat his corn chips. I felt so bad for him :( I won't let that happen again if at all possible. Do you use the Nestle semi-sweet? What is the brand of Vanilla pudding powder?

Thanks,

Debbie

I used Aldi brand chips last night, they are very simple ing and have no weird additives. I also use their pudding powder. They've recently started listing allergens, which makes buying generics great! I've also used Walmart's Great Value Brand before b/c they label right on there "glutenfree".

Don't forget to search the cupcake recipe on allrecipes....I think it's under "Gluten Free Yellow Cake" It's better than any of the mixes I've bought...so light and fluffy just like REAL cupcakes. I think the next time I bake them, I'm going to make a bunch more than I need so I can freeze them and have them to grab for a birthday party or such if I go to one...it's always a bummer not to be able to eat the cake! :D

Have you tried Mi-Del's arrowroot Animal Crackers? I get them for myself (and for using as my crust on a cheesecake). They are really good, and they are shaped like animals and taste no different to me. Maybe your son would like them?

Help - I can't find this recipe on allrecipes.com. I found some recipes, but they don't have the vanilla pudding powder mentioned in the posts. Can someone steer me in the right direction?

katydid,

kbabe1968 is using the gluten free yellow cake recipe - then she adds the dry pudding.

That's the recipe I use and have great luck with it. I think using rice flour from an asian market (finer ground) helps, too. I also freeze the extra cupcakes (unfrosted) and that has worked out great.

This is an absolutely wonderful recipe!!! Plus, the cupcakes last room temperature for SO long! I think I was still eating mine almost a week later and they were still the perfect texture and taste. I highly recommend NOT refrigerating these cupcakes as it changes the texture somewhat.

Kbabe... I'll have to try this recipe with the pudding mix added. That sounds really tasty! :)

YES! I add the powder to the basic recipe that Guhlia posted....it's not part of the original recipe. I liked the box mixes before I was gluten-free and they tend to be stronger flavored than the original recipe of the gluten-free ones. I added the pudding powder to get them to taste more like a boxed mix. I also add extra vanilla extract - although i use a fake extract, not the real thing....I found a gluten free one that's inexpensive.

I made them again yesterday b/c we had company last night, and they have 4 kids. Thier kids didn't even notice a difference and they all asked for 2nds. My daughter told the oldest that they were gluten free and the girl said "no they aren't!". LOL :D they fool kids!

My son's birthday is coming up, can't wait to make these for all the kids....they'll never know!

Hey...Gulia how do you get them to last a week? I bake them and can't resist them...I have yet to get them to last 24 hours without getting eaten! LOL :D

I followed your link to the cupcakes and printed out your icing recipe...I am going to use the pudding suggestion as well! :)

I want to make them tonight! B) However, I have had a traumatic day in the kitchen today, and I think it's safer for everyone if I just stay out of it. <_<

There are two recipes posted this week on the forum I REALLY want to make soon. I hope my kitchen survives 'til the weekend.

Thanks for the recipe! Blessings. -Julie

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting...

What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting. If the scab was scratched off, it would bleed and bleed until it scabbed up again. The skin has lost its pigment where the scabs are. I figured it was probably either the plant I had trimmed around the 15th or some reaction to the magnesium complex I was taking or an allergic reaction to the asthma meds I was on. I stopped the asthma meds and the magnesium. The rash seemed to get better but when I took the asthma meds it flared up again so I went to the urgent care as my doctor was unavailable. The UC doctor said it probably wasn't the meds and asked about my diet. I said I was strict keto. I usually am, but there is a story around this. I feel amazing on keto. When I eat sugar, wheat, and starchy veggies I feel horrible. Blood sugar goes up, IBS type symptoms, brain fog, etc. But I have a horrible addiction to carbs so I blow it sometimes and after Mom died in 2023, I fell off the wagon. No rashes, just weight gain. I finally went back on keto and then around that time had a piece of pizza (or so, it's hard to stop the carb rush.) So I was strict keto, off and on. She ignored that and prescribed some allergy meds. It didn't go away.  What was happening by then was that the rash was now on my upper elbows, both of them, on the back of my arms. It starts with a very itchy bump, spreads around it and sometimes just burns like crazy and other times just itches. Then it started on the sides of my knees on the oustide, a little bit down the sides of the calves. It's not as bad there as it is on my arms even though it comes and goes (and so does wheat in my diet.) I then got three tiny blisters on each hand, 3 on the insdie of my index finger on the right hand and 3 on the inside of middle finger of my left hand. There is still a little scab there even though it was two weeks ago. No more have appeared on the fingers. But right now the back of the arms above my elbows are starting to itch. At some point I started to think mites from the possum that was sneaking into our house but it's been 3 months and they would be dead already. It wouldn't be from humans because I don't go near any humans although I did take an Uber to the doctor and the bus back. Plus, it's symmetrical. It starts on one side and is almost identical on the other.  I did my DNA with Ancestry and MyHeritage. I don't have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. I do have HLA-DQ2.2. I took the blood test but it was negative. Then again, I don't eat wheat every day. I rarely eat it except for lately when I've been preparing for the blood test if I have to take it again. I don't like to. It makes my joints hurt, gives me brain fog, stomach problems, I sleep in the middle of the day, etc. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I hope that she will be more serious about this than the UC doctor was.  So I have no idea. With my luck they'll magically disappear before the doctor appointment. That's what happens with everything.
