Sounds yummy and easy!! Do you think if i used an egg substitute it would turn out okay? And if i used a premade mix that already had xanthum/guar gum, would i still need to add that in?

All your recipes look soooo good!

Good questions but I don't know for sure. If your mix has xanthan gum then you probably don't need to add any more. I haven't used mixes with x-gum. If you are using Ener G in place of the eggs then you may need to add some to help the cake hold together better. You might also add an extra 1/4 cup of applesauce, just a thought. I haven't tried guar gum YET STILL, our store was out AGAIN last night!

Next try for my ef/df, dd, I am going to make 1/2 a recipe for cake or cupcakes using Ener G, veg oil or Earth Balance and soy milk. You could try it and let me know how it turned out

I like to make 1/2 recipes or 1/4 recipes sometimes. I did read somewhere that its ok to use more egg replacer, spices and extracts when baking gluten-free- I think Karina said it

Anyone else have any ideas on these questions?? Thanks, I am learning too

TinaM, I tried it and I can't tell the difference!!!

I only made 1/2 a recipe and put it in 1- 8x8" pan so there is no morning cake to look forward too Good thing!!!

Vegan Version:

light olive oil in place of the butter

1- Ener G egg replacer mixed according to directions on box, for 1 egg

soy milk mixed with ACV

no changes in the dry ingredients

Bake 20-25 minutes, mine in my toaster oven, got done about 23 minutes.

I hope my dd enjoys it b/c yesterday she didn't get any

edit: sometimes gluten-free baking goodies can get soggy bottoms. I find that gluten-free/vegan baking do get soggy bottoms. I checked the cake after a few minutes and sure enough. So I cut the hot cake into squares and put the squares onto a wire rack to cool. We'll see if that helps. One other idea is to sprinkle a few extra nuts and some of the topping into the empty pan before filling it.

When experimenting...you sure have to sample alot, time for something not sweet
