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!

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      Hello, I'm relatively new to this, so I'm hoping to get some advice. I went gluten-free for most of April and felt the best I've ever felt. I’ve been experiencing strange symptoms since last August, but they all disappeared when I eliminated gluten. However, to get accurate blood test results, I’m back on gluten for a month (all of May), and I’m hon...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

I’ve been experiencing strange symptoms since last August, but they all disappeared when I eliminated gluten. However, to get accurate blood test results, I’m back on gluten for a month (all of May), and I’m honestly feeling miserable. I’ve been dealing with joint pain, bloating, diarrhea, and just overall discomfort. Does anyone have tips on how to manage these symptoms during this month? What has helped you with joint pain?
