gluten-free Easy Oreo Cake

Hi! Here's the recipe, if you want the template for the top let me know and I'll send a link to you. I have photos, but I am on vacation (Yea!) and am using my laptop so I'm not sure if I can figure out how to post them here. Again, if you want them let me know and I can send you a link, when I get home I'll figure out how to put a photo in a post.

This is super easy and uses a cake mix, for a quick and fun dessert. Do it with Cool Whip for a dairy free version...but Cool Whip does have some Casein in it, so it's not OK if you're very sensitive to milk. You could also use a dairy free prepared frosting rather than the whipped topping if you wanted. If you need egg free as well, just use egg replacer instead of eggs when you follow the directions on the mix. Also, check for eggs in the cookies...I can't remember if they are egg free? No soy free version....I can't find a soy free whipped topping anywhere!!! Let me know if you know of a dairy and soy free whipped topping.

You Need:

One gluten free chocolate cake mix (Pamela's or Namaste are good, Namaste is dairy free)

One container prepared frosting (Gluten and Dairy free...we used Pillsbury milk chocolate flavor, which interestingly enough contains no milk!)

One container Cool Whip (or other whipped topping)

10 Gluten Free Sandwich Cookies (we used K toos, best darn OREO substitue ever!)

1/2 bag gluten free chocolate chips (we used Sunspree).

You Do:

Follow the directions on the cake mix, and bake the cake in two 9 inch rounds. Remove from pan and let cool.

While the cake is baking, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Trace the bottom of a 9 inch cake pan onto a piece of paper. Cover the paper with plastic wrap. This is your template for making the top of the cake (or, you can use the template I made below...it's not a very good one, but it gives you a good idea of one way to do it) . Using a spatula, put the melted chocolate into a zip lock sandwich bag. Carefully snip a small part off one corner off the bag. Following your template, trace around the circle. Make your lines just inside the circle, because the cake will be a little smaller than the pan. Next, make the oval in the center of the circle...you can follow my template or do your own. You can write OREO in the center, or someone's name if it's a birthday cake. Then, fill in swirls and circles between your center oval and the outer circle. You could print out my template as a guide, or just free hand it (which is what I did for the cake in the photo). Place your chocolate design in the freezer to harden while you put the cake together.

Frost the sides and top of the first layer of cake. Crush the cookies in a plastic bag (or pulse in a food processor) until you have coarse crumbs. Mix the cookie crumbs in with the whipped topping, and spread the topping over top of the first cake. Carefully set the second layer on top of the first, and frost the sides and top of that layer. Take your cookie topper out of the freezer, and carefully peel the wrap off the bottom. Quickly lay the topper on top of the cake, and press down gently to secure it in the frosting.

Enjoy!!!! A quick and easy but fancy way to do dessert.

Yup, they're Kinnikinnik! They are sooo good, they taste just like Oreos and look exactly like them too! My son loves this cake, too. It's really fun and it goes over well with other (non celiac) kids, it doesn't matter that it's gluten free!

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
