The Ever-elusive Yellow Cake Mix

Recommended Posts

I have tried for over a year to find gluten-free yellow cake mix in the health food stores. I even looked at WHole Foods the last time we were in Nashville, TN and they didn't carry it. I did order the Cause You're Special brand online once, but that gets expensive. My question is: I have several recipes that I would like to adapt to gluten-free that call for yellow cake mix. I do have a recipe for yellow cake from scratch, but if the recipe calls for the dry cake mix, how much of the scratch recipe would I use?

You would think that yellow cake is a common item; I can find every flavor but that, even lemon. Go figure!!! :angry:

Annalise Roberts has a delicious yellow cake recipe in her book gluten-free Great Bakes.

It might depend on the Whole Foods, because the last time I was in Birmingham I picked one up of the Whole Foods brand, 365 something -- I don't remember. The only downside is that it makes one layer, so you'd probably need two ($3.99) boxes to make a recipe calling for a cake mix. :( Maybe you could request the nearest Whole Foods to carry it?

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
