Gluten Free Pantry Cake Mix Question

I tried the GFP cake/cookie mix for the first time and need suggestions.

I did follow the directions exactly on the package and maybe that was the problem.

I was a little surprised the package shows a two layer cake because the mix only makes a thin one layer cake.

I did not overbake but found the cake to be dry...I was very tempted to eat the Duncan Hines cake I also made! Any suggestions please on what to add to moisten the cake and any tips you have. I would like to try Bob's Red Mill corn muffin mix and the GFP favorite bread mix but don't want to waste two more products.

Thanks!

I personally made the Bob's corn bread, and it was wonderiffic and tasty and just wow. I made it with the dairy options, so you know. For the cake, I would suggest doing it just the way it said, and adding a half cup of sour cream. I havent tried the GFP bread mix, so I can't give any advice there.

hi, I don't use mixes, I find them expensive. I have a recipe for an awesome chocolate cake that I make ALL the time, and no one can tell it is gluten free, I am at work right now, but I can get you the recipe when I get home.

Also I use Bette Hagamans(sp) recipe for corn bread and it is awesome also.

But I agree I would add sourcream or yogurt.

Sometimes adding some gluten free mayonaise will moisten a take. Tablespoon or so. I don't use any of the mixes. I mix brown rice flour, tapioca flour and potato starch flour. I make my own pie crust using that mix. My wife has made gluten free crustless cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake, blueberry cake, apple spice cake, outstanding biscuits and they all come out pretty good.

I haven't tried the GFP cake mix, so I'm not any help there.

I use the Pamela's Chocolate Cake Mix and it's very moist.

We use the bob's cornbread mix. I follow the directions, but add 1 tbs vanilla and then drizzle the top(s) with honey before baking. Everyone fights over the leftovers!

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
