Pamela's Vanilla Cake Mix

Has anyone tried Pamela's Vanilla Cake Mix or Arrowhead Mills Vanilla Cake Mix? I want to make an easy gluten-free cake for my 3 year old's birthday next week, and we tried Namaste Vanilla Cake mix and it wasn't very good. I was just wondering about the other two brands, or if anyone has a suggestion about a different brand that tastes similar to the real thing that would be great! Thanks!

Hi Laura,

I've not tried Pamelas since I can't tolerate tapioca, and I'm not a fan of Arrowhead Mills baking mix, so I've never tried the cake mixes.

My favorite gluten-free cake mix by far is Cause You're Special. The Lemon and Yellow flavors are delicious and the testure is light--more like a wheat-based cake mix.

Gluten Free Pantry makes a white cake mix that's good, too.

Pamela's is excellent! Not expensive & everyone eats it . I usually make my own but when I'm in a hurry Pamela's is the one I use. I not a big fan of Nasmaste.. or Arrowhead mills.....most people do not even know that they are eating a gluten-free cake with Pamela's.

Avoid AT ALL COSTS the Arrowhead mills cake. It is the grittiest, grossest thing I have ever eaten. Like chowing down on a pile of vanilla sand. Gack.

Pamela's vanilla cake is great. I have one in the oven as we speak for my son's birthday today. The smell, taste and texture are great, it's not that expensive, and it's easy to find.

My Favorite that I have tried is called Namaste Foods ... I literally could not stop eating it. I mean this was better then gluten cake. Trust me I have eaten a lot of cake in my life time gluten and non gluten. Not only is it the best tasting I have found it is super easy to make. The only change I made to it was adding about half a cup more sugar to the batter. It was fantastic. I bought it at whole foods.

Pamela's is definitely the one I've used to feed non-gluten-free people. Its my favorite, as the flavor is much the same. The texture is much denser, but that's really the only difference. The chocolate cake mix is just to die for as well.

My son loves Pamela's vanilla cake. In fact, I am making one on Wednesday to bring to a family gathering. It's yummy!

I love Pamela's Chocolate Cake Mix. I'm not so fond of the Vanilla Cake Mix. I do, make the pound cake recipe that's on the bag. I add Health Bar Chips and Coconut and it's wonderful with no calories ;):P ,

I like Pamela's chocolate cake mix, but not the vanilla. I have been told that Authentic Food's makes a good vanilla cake mix, but I've not tried it yet. I think vanilla cake must be one of the more difficult things to master... ;)

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
