Baking Time For Chocolate Brownie Or Cake Mixes

Hi everyone. I'm pretty new in my attempt to eat gluten-free. I'm also a raging chocoholic. :P I've tried a few different gluten free chocolate brownie or cake mixes. They've all needed a longer baking time than stated on the package. I'd never noticed this with wheat flour baking. My oven temps are correct. Can anyone explain this? I'm just curious.

I use Sylvan Border Farms chocolate cake mix that I buy on (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned). I find just the opposite--I usually cook it 5 minutes less than the package calls for, and it turns out wonderfully! By far my favorite gluten-free cake mix--and I have tried many. Even my gluten eating family loves it!

I find the chocolate stuff needs longer, too. It just depends on the brand, usually!

Thanks Stacy. That's one brand I haven't seen.

KipperCat, if you want to make a chocolate cake from scratch, I have a yummy, cheap and a very easy recipe.

My dd likes it wih 3/4 cup choc/pb chips, it makes a single 9" cake or a dozen cupcakes.

Also a great brownie recipe too, I make 1/2 a recipe b/c they are so addictive...and be sure to bake them long enough, they come out gooey so let them set before cutting. I usually bake them longer than the recipe to be safe.

I am not gluten-free, kids are, I love chocolate and baking....these recipes are the best I have ever had, gluten, cake mix, homemade or whatever! They beat everything...I have never bought gluten-free mixes...too expensive.

I recently had the gluten box kind of brownies and I thought they were gross...must be all the additives and chemicals.

I've found the brownie mixes take longer to bake...with any new gluten-free product we usually start at the minimum time and work our way up...corn pasta seems to take a few minutes longer than the longest specified time.

Favorite Chocolate Sinful Cake...It's my gluten-free son's 16th bday today, so I'm about to go frost one now. We make them semi-regularly for birthdays and to bring when we eat at other people's homes as everyone loves them and it's a real treat for my son and I.

Bob's Red Mill Chocolate Cake Mix - mix in one cup of choc chips!

Candy-Fudge Frosting:

2 cups choc chips

1 can sweetened condenced milk

2 tsp vanilla

melt / mix in saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted spread over layer cake...dip knife in hot water if hard to spread.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!
