Pamela's Vanilla Cake Mix

[LauraWass]

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 ,

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...
