DD will turn 3 in August, her first birthday since being diagnosed in March. What is your favorite chocolate or vanilla cake recipe? I've tried a few mixes and so far like Pamela's Chocolate Cake Mix the best, but I'd like to make her cake from scratch if there is a great recipe out there. Let me know if there is a special icing recipe you use, too. Thank you!!

You might do a search as this has been asked before and there is a couple of good threads already.

This is my son's favorite - he's all about chocolate. Bette Hagman's recipe.

Featherlight Chocolate Cake

1 3/4 cup featherlight flour mix

1/2 tsp Xanthan gum

2 cups sugar

3/4 cup cocoa

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 cup sour cream

1 cup boiling water

beat eggs, add sour cream and vanilla

beat in dry ingredients

slowly add boiling water and mix well

bake at 350 F, done when toothpick comes out clean.

9 x 13 pan -- 35-40 minutes

13 x 18 pan -- 17-20 minutes

9 inch rounds - about 25 minutes

cupcakes - about 20 minutes

Featherlight flour mix:

1 cup white rice flour

1 cup tapioca flour

1 cup corn starch

1 tbsp potato flour (not starch), but I have omitted this when I did not have on hand.

For his last birthday, I made layers so there would be extra icing (I use store-bought) and then arranged plain M&Ms on the top. He and his friends loved it!

I like the Pamela's too, otherwise I like the recipe on the side of the Hershey's cocoa powder box, and I sub in the mixture I emailed you yesterday--plus xanthan gum. Another idea we did last year and it was a HUGE hit was an ice cream sundae party. I let my dd go to the store with me and pick out all the toppings and candies, we put them all out in little bowls on a small table and all the kids got to make their own. She wants to do it again this year!

How about lemon, lime, raspberry, or pineapple?

For frosting, it's gotta be coconut, or lemon or lime would be good too.

Thanks for your suggestions! I did a search, but also wanted to start a new thread because you never know when someone has tried a new great recipe but hasn't posted about it. I guess I'm searching for the best for my DD!! She is still pretty slow to try new things, so I'm going to stick with chocolate or vanilla for her birthday because she definitely likes them. Thanks again!

Go to recipezaar #209764. It's called One Bowl gluten free Chocolate cake. I made it once. It's moist and good. You could add choc or pb chips. Alot of people commented on it so be sure to read those too. You can make cupcakes. My notes say to bake them 18 mins and it makes 12 cupcakes.

Thanks for the gluten free one bowl cake. I made it this afternoon and my non-celiac kids declared it a hit. Said if they didn't know, there is no way they could tell. They called it a 'brownie' cake, cause the dense texture of it reminded them of brownies.

I used the Bob's red mill all purpose flour.

You are welcome. Here is another wonderful cake: recipezaar#174346 It's an apple cake. I used 1/4 cup each of white rice, brown rice and sorghum flours to add protein and fiber. It turned out soooo tastey.

The absolute best gluten-free chocolate cake from scratch I have ever made is this recipe: Open Original Shared Link. I just made it yesterday, in fact, and served it to a whole house full of gluten eaters, and there was not a crumb left. Several people came back for seconds, and were disappointed that there were none. ;)

This is my favorite chocolate cake ever! I've made it several times, and it rocks! I made Black Forest Chocolate Cake with this as the base for my birthday last fall. I brought it to work, and everyone had seconds! The cake by itself though is great, really moist and flavorful!

That looks really good.

I'm always looking for recipes to use extra egg yolks (leftover from bread and pizza).

As a mom to two little girls who attend a LOT of birthday parties, I can attest that the Glutino Chocolate Cake Mix is the very best one I've ever eaten. Even my gluten-eating husband (who is very very picky) loves it.

I've seen two different packags of Glutino chocolate cake mix. The GOOD ONE is the one that has a picture of a chocolate cake on the front (as opposed to the plain white box version). Beware, the box only makes one 9" layer so you'll need two boxes to make a two-layer cake.

Trust me, this cake mix is worth the money and even at $5/box it's still cheaper than a grocery store cake.

      Frustrated with Providers

      I have been Gluten Free for 25 years and havent eaten gluten knowingly during that time. Such a rocky life, I have had issues since I was 16 when physicians stated I needed to see a psychiatrist. I am now 70 years old. I also had Dermatitis herpetiformis. I had negative tests on biopsy, blood test etc but no doctor mentioned that I needed to do a gluten...

      "Risk free genetically"? Very low risk, actually. But, we are still learning about the genetics of celiac disease. Speaking of milk, some studies show that CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) can damage the small bowel villi like celiac disease does. Also, some meds (NSAIDS, Olmesartan - a blood pressure med) and some infections can also blunt SB villi.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia! The post you were looking for about omeprazol acting as an anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressant was made (yesterday, I believe) by knitty kitty. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat flour...

      I went to ER on the 30th because I didn't want to wait and saw dr at desk for intake. I went for NOTHING!. ER Dr was very nice but made it seem as if I was a nut case rater than coming in for real issues calmly explaining its staph! Staph,  by look no blood test, no skin test. No looking in my nose and throat was given a prescription for jock cream and some pills ! I made the mistake of saying Im waiting on Infectious disease. She asked how did I get referral and I said I did it online.The next day I checked the status and it was denied! I did get  a referral to the dermatology office i went to last year that over charged me and did a biopsy on me stating inconclusive! I went to another dermatologist and he stated I should see Infectious disease at place i put in referral. With that I contacted that dermatologist and waiting to see if he thinks dermatology or Infectious disease is the route.I do have appointment for dermatology next week.Until then i did purchase Zahler paraGuard advance intestinal  flora support  from Sprouts. Im also very alarmed that the fact celiac isn't addressed properly infact its downplayed. When I had my son tested for HLA-DQ2 and it came out positive because he is eating everything and he is extremely skinny but he isn't dealing with severe diagestive issues because thats all he knows NOW or yet because he is still young 21.I too didn't know any difference when i was that age because thats all we know.Life changes will get him in latter years im afraid because what im dealing with.That scares me.The specialist we went to was only about congestion he is getting.He is getting congestion because he is eating what he isn't supposed too! Zero talk about celiac and HLA-DQ2 positive. Only talk was he is congested because we live in the Valley! They wanted to do surgery! I did write again to our district leader considering when I did call, the guy stated he knew all about celiac. I really wanted to tell him NO YOU DON'T but held my tongue. For my skin sores the cream given didn't do anything because ive also had in past.Ive been putting liquid vitamin c on it and taking vitamins which is making a little difference just with the last few days of doing.

      I have been Gluten Free for 25 years and havent eaten gluten knowingly during that time.   Such a rocky life, I have had issues since I was 16 when physicians stated I needed to see a psychiatrist. I am now 70 years old. I also had Dermatitis herpetiformis. I had negative tests on biopsy, blood test etc but no doctor mentioned that I needed to do a gluten challenge. I went on an elimination diet and found relief on the Dermatitis within a month. I have no doubt that I am celiac and very sensitive now. Now my issue is that I changed physicians due to retirement and he performed a blood test and included a celiac test. I was very upset because I did not request the test and had not been eating gluten for 25 years. Of course the test was negative.  My question - Will this cause me any issues with health treatment if my records now have that I dont have celiac? I like this physician and I am appalled that he performed the test. (he told me his brother is also celiac).  I feel that we are still living in the dark ages. I dont want to cause problems because I rarely need health treatment since I live a fairly healthy lifestyle.  Since I am at this age and been through so much getting to this point am I being unreasonable for being upset? I am not expecting to see this physician for another 2 months.  Need to know if I can expect issues with future treatments. How can a physician not know about the gluten challenge this day and age?

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia! The post you were looking for about omeprazol acting as an anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressant was made (yesterday, I believe) by knitty kitty. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat flour bread) for at least two weeks prior to the day of the procedure. @Ginarwebb, your tTG-IGA >250 would seem to be a pretty high test result, though to be sure of that statement, I would need to see what the lab used for a "normal" range. Do you have that number also? Different labs use different scales. There isn't an industry standard yet. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac blood antibody testing. Your ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TITER (aka, "EMA") is positive as well. This is an older test, and a relative expensive one, compared to the tTG-IGA which has largely replaced. But the EMA is still ordered by some docs and is highly reliable. That both of them agree in your case and this is strong evidence that you have celiac disease. Concerning the ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY TITER (aka, "total IGA") being high, there are two things of importance. First, it tells us you are not "IGA deficient" such that your tTG-IGA test result is reliable. Second, a high total IGA test score can suggest other health concerns, some of which are serious. It can also mean nothing. Talk to your doctor about this. I would also suggest you research the implications of a high total IGA. In addition to IGA celiac diagnostic tests there are also IGG tests which are handy when total IGA is sub normal.  Here is an article outlining the various tests that can be run for diagnosing celiac disease:
