Omgoooodness....cupcakes Out Of This World Cupcakes...

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! :)

kbabe1968 Enthusiast

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

He he he... I bake a few batches at a time... :) That's the ONLY way I can get them to last more than a day!

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

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

      For reference, daughter is 18 mths old. Was having painful severe constipation with pale stool and blood also bloating (tight extended belly.) Liver and gallbladder are normal. Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
