I kept some of my most favorite gluten recipes with the hope that one day, someday, I could eat gluten again. :) I had a few cake recipes using Betty Crocker

That's a great idea. Did you use all the same amounts of extra ingredients? I have grandma's old recipes like these for chocolate kahlua cake and a yellow cake with some other type of alcohol. These will be great for the holidays this year. I'm gonna tell my sister. She'll be thrilled that we can bring back at least one more traditional recipe. She already converted the rum ball recipe to gluten-free. Can you tell that grandma liked things with alcohol in them? :lol: She was one to give us a spoon of cherry brandy for a cough. Never touched alcohol except for cooking though.

Sorry to ramble on, this just brings back so many memories!

MMMMMM....sounds delish! I was going to do the same thing this weekend.....try an old recipe with the new mix. Quick question.....was the cake much smaller? I think the new BC mixes are for one layer instead of two. Thanks!

To answer a few of the questions about the Sherry Cake. I used the exact same ingredients from an old recipe using the Betty Crocker gluten cake mix as a base

I did not know B.C. had gluten-free cake mixes! Would I find that in the health section of the grocery store or in the regular baking aisle? Very exciting!

For all of you bakers, the gluten-free Betty Crocker cake mix works well with the Cake Mix Doctor cookbook. It is so nice to have coffee cake again! The bake times are tricky though, I use the temp. suggested and about 15 min. before the required bake time I start looking at the cake.

Thank you! This sounds wonderful. I was hoping somebody would try using old gluten recipes with the new mixes. We just got them locally last month and I bought four boxes.

A Christmas tradition at our house is a rum cake and last year I told DH he would have to get somebody else to make it for him. He was not pleased but I wasn't going to allow any flour loose in my kitchen.

Maybe I'll get brave and try the old Bacardi Rum Cake recipe with the new gluten-free mixes. If anybody else has tried it, I'd love to know how it turned out.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
