I don't have a recipe, but I had one made from a really good mix last year for my birthday. I'll take a look when I go to the health food store today to see what brand it was. It was delicious and very moist...not grainy at all.

I understand your dilemma. I will probably be getting married before too long and am already worried about what I'm going to do for cake. I think I may just end up doing one small layer gluten-free and the rest regular. Either that, or cheesecake, which is probably doable since we plan on having a small wedding.

This isn't like a regular cake but is excellent, Ancho Chile Flourless Chocolate Cake. I've made this several times. I suggest you make it to see if you'd like it for the wedding. It could be decorated very nicely.

We have been testing mixes for our wedding cake, and we're down to a tie between Gluten Free Pantry and Pamela's. They are both very good, the Pamela's is a bit denser than the Gluten Free Pantry but is also more intense on the chocolate. Both of them would work very well.

Elonwy,

Pamela's states on the pkg that you can lighten it up with the additon of another egg. I don't have a pkg here to look at but there is a reg version & a lighter version listed...

For a mix we would take Pamela's hands down.....

Happy weddings girls....

I have been cooking gluten free for over 20 years; and believe me when I say I have never tasted a chocolate cake, gluten free or otherwise, that is as good as Namaste Chocolate Cake Mix. It is available at health food stores or at namastefoods.com. It is dark and rich and moist; and it stays fresh tasting for many days. I have a website gift basket business and it is the most requested item asked for. I am a very discerning cook; but after coming across this mix, I wouldn't dream of using anything else. It is truly wonderful.

Good luck!

I make this cake more often than any other. For my 50th birthday party last year I made this, sliced each cake lengthwise to get 4 layers. I placed the ganache icing inbetween the cut slices of both cakes then used a regular buttercream icing to finish the cake. I was the only gluten free person at the party and the cake was a great hit.

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

1/2 cup sorghum flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup rice flour

1 cup cocoa, sifted

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

3/4 cup salted butter, room temperature (if you use unsalted, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

2 egg yolks

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease the bottom of a 9

I'm not sure how long you have been gluten free. So I have two options for you. If you are not 100% sure on which boxed cakes yet and want to try and save a little money perhaps, try a regular chocolate cake mix recipe, but use replacement all purpose flour. I purchased BETTER BATTER flour from GlutenFreeMall.com and made chocolate chip cookies for my very picky 8 yr old son with celiac. He couldn't tell the difference. Nor could we! I can't wait to make him RedVelvetCake, which you can't find gluten-free anywhere.

You can also make Pamela's (which I have not tried the cake yet, but love the brownies and pancake/waffle mix) or any other boxed cake mix (I've tried Cherry Brook farms and enjoyed) and decide for yourself what you like best.

Another option would be to have the bakery or whomever make two seperate cakes. One gluten-free and one regular unless you must have all gluten-free at the wedding.

Find a bakery or specialty food store that makes gluten-free baked goods and ask if they can make your wedding cake since they usually close down for a day or two in order to clean the kitchen. They can substitute gluten-free flour in their bakery recipe.

BETTER BATTER all purpose flour IS JUST LIKE THE REAL THING! Go to glutenfreemall.com and read the reviews. It's worth the $$$. Now just find a recipe and have a beautiful wedding!

Let me know what you decided!

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
