Icing

Recommended Posts

KarenFe Contributor

I have seen several gluten-free cakes online and they don't have icing on them. Is icing ok for someone on a gluten-free diet to have? I sure hope so!

I'm looking for a good vanilla gluten-free cake as well as a chocolate one. Does anyone have any favorites?

Thanks so much!

Karen

My favorite vanilla frosting is: one stick of butter, 8 oz. of cream cheese, a bag of confectioner's sugar, a couple of teaspoons of gluten-free vanilla and milk to make it the consistency you want it. To make chocolate frosting, add real cocoa to it to make it as strong or light as you want it. I love to make cupcakes and have one of those cupcake trees, which make such a fun birthday time or for any occasion. Have fun.

I like to make Bob's Red Mill Chocolate Cake from the mix and make my own chocolate butter cream frosting from the recipe on the back of the Ghiradelli cocoa power (baking cocoa) can. But I only use 1 cup of sugar because that's really all it needs. The best part is, there's no rice in any part of this cake (I'm rice intolerant, too, lucky me.)

Our favorite--Cause Your Special Moist Lemon Cake Mix with homemade buttercream frosting. I use the frosting recipe on the side of the Domino's Confectioner's Sugar Box.

I'm lazy so I buy icing - I've had success with the canned Great Value brand from Walmart. However - some brands DO have wheat starch in them, so read those labels !

Here is my favorite homemade choc. cake and its super easy:

I like to add 3/4 cups of choc. chips or part peanut butter chips. I have made it with rice flour mix or sorghum flour mix or some of both and its great everytime. I doubled it and made a 2 layer cake with the directions for Rissaroos black forrest cake (recipes below).

Here is a really yummy frosting. It makes more than enough for a 2 layer cake so you may want to make 1/2 a recipe:

I remembered an old favorite I used to make:

Fluffy Pudding Frosting

1 cup cold milk

1 sm. pkg instant pudding mix (gluten-free)

1 8oz. cool whip

Pour milk into bowl, add pudding mix. Whisk until blended, 2 mins.

Stir in cool whip, gently, with rubber scraper until all one color. Frost, keep cake/cupcakes in fridge. Frosts 24 cupcakes. (I had extra fluff to eat with a spoon...mm.

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel.  I have been disappointed with the medical system myself.  Have you read my story in my blog?   What can we do to help you get better?   Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease.  Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?   Which supplements are you taking?

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
