I am going to try Pamela's (chocolate cake mix) and I was wondering if any of you lovely people have a recipe for some sort of gluten free dairy & soy free frosting or maybe a ganache recipe?

thanks so much

Happy Birthday! I love the Pamela's mix. It is so rich you don't need much for frosting. I've dusted the cake with powdered sugar and that's been enough! Is Cool Whip okay? That would be good. If that's not okay, I know I've seen soy based Cool Whip but I can't remember the name of it!

Huh. I never made a ganache before, but when I read your post I thought the filling to a cookie I made would probably be good. I looked up what a ganache is, and lo & behold, that's pretty much what my filling was. The site I checked for ganache said the basic recipe is 1 part cream to 2 parts chocolate, so you may have to tweak it a bit if no one else has a recipe.

Here's my recipe -

1 c. Enjoy Life chocolate chips

3/8 c. coconut milk

2 Tbsp powdered sugar

Cook & stir over medium heat until chocolate melts. (It will likely spread well while it's warm, but will firm up more as it cools.)

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

That's the only mix I buy, I've made it a few different ways, but the best BY FAR is the mocha version on the package. I made it with very strong coffee. It didn't taste at all like coffee, just very dark and rich. My chocolate-hater husband LOVED it and fought my DD for the last piece!!! :D

Well I'm sorry I read this so late, however I hope you had a great B-day. I have several cake recipes without always having to buy special mixes or flours. Having been diagnosed in 1994 b4 all of the really easy good stuff came along and because I love to cook, I have acquired many fixes for things. Should you still want some of these let me know I'd be happy to share. Also if you know of a Wholefoods, check them out they have a new bakery and although sometimes pricey the baked goods are fabulous.

Good luck,

D

I made the GFPantry chocolate chip cake once and it was really really good with strawberry compote on top. I'll be making a Bob's red Mill mix soon, and will keep you all updated.

I don't personally like the Bob's chocolate cake or chocolate chip cookies, they have that weird aftertaste. Maybe I need to experiment with different additives (like the coffee) because I bought a case of each and need to figure out a way to use them!! (I do LOVE their cornbread though!!)

Happy Belated Birthday :)

I always make Pamelas Chocolate Cake for birthdays, even for my gluten eating family members and they LOVE it.

I don't have a specific recipe on hand, but I know you can make a cf frosting with cocoa powder, oil (like canola or safflower), and powdered sugar. You can do a google search for vegan chocolate frosting.

I haven't tried any except "cause your special" brand cake mixes....

my MIL made a few for my anniversary party and everyone loved it, many were shocked to see me eating it and were scared I would get sick.... then when I told them it was gluten free the look on their face was classic!

and their brownie mix is to die for..... hubby never wants the other kind (with that nasty flour stuff) ever again, lol

Hi,

My birthday was on the 13th but I was too exhausted to make anything. Yesterday I found a recipe I will be attached to for loooong time. The Company is called 123 Gluten Free because all the mixes have only three steps to them. I made a yellow cake that I finally had to tell my family to hide because it was so good. If you can get it I would try it.

Just looking for some recipes, I am turning 50 next Nov, do you have a good cake recipe. I would love to have it if you do.

Thanks.

I didn't like the chocolate chip cookies so much either. They have a wonderful texture but the flavor is wonky. I did make the choc cake finally, and I enjoyed the flavor of that much more. I still noticed a bitter aftertaste, my mother and boyfriend and uncle all said I was crazy. It may have helped that I made a cream cheese/marshmallow creme frosting to go on top. I think the cake would be even better with a coffee flavor, or orange flavor, or chocolate chips.

I've perfected my apple crisp/cobbler if anyone's interested......

my favorite chocolate icing recipe

1 stick butter or marjorine

1/2 cup Hershey's cocoa spooned into the cup

1 t vanilla

1 box of powdered sugar

cream the butter until really fluffy, beat in the cocoa and vanilla. Add part of the sugar (sift if it's old). As the icing gets thicker, add milk to keep it the right consistancy. Keep adding milk (maybe a T at a time) and the sugar until you have icing the consistancy you want. This will make enough to ice a 2 layer cake, or put a really thick layer on a sheet cake. REduce by about 1/3 if you want less icing on your sheet cake. (Like, who wants less icing?)

I don't think you can make dairy free ganache--you boil cream and chocolate together, so I can't imagine what you could substitute for the cream.

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
