Gf Cake Mixes?

[Kasey'sMom]

What's your favorite gluten-free cake mix?

Have you ever tried the mix with a egg replacement?

Thanks!!!

My favorite brand is Dietary Specialties ~ found on Open Original Shared Link

They make a WONDERFUL chocolate, and I love their white as well. They also make apple bread, blueberry muffins and banana bread mixes that are out of this world!!! YUMMY!!! Enjoy!

P.S. I don't know about the egg issue... check their label/ingredients.

Thanks! These products look wonderful. I just haven't bee able to get my scratch made cake to have a great consistancy. Thanks again for the link and I can't wait to try them!

If you like angel food cake, Gluten-Free Pantry makes an awesome mix. You just add water and vanilla. My husband can't tell the difference!

I don't usually cook, but when I actually make a cake I use the gluten-free Pantry chocolate truffle brownie mix. I put one cup of cherry yogurt in along with the ingredients called for. The hint of cherry taste is really nice. You can use any fruit yogurt you prefer. I like the brownie mix as a cake because it's more dense than the cake mixes. Plus the cake mixes tend to have that 'sandy' taste to them whereas the brownie mix is chewier and holds its shape better for frosting. An inch of chocolate frosting on top and no one knows it's a brownie mix, anyway.

Hi,

I just got my gluten-free pantry catalog and I never imagined that they had so many products. With the price of the products it's nice to know what works and what is yummy! We're having our first gluten-free birthday party and I was a little nervous but I feel much better knowing that I can make a great cake.

My mom picked up a Pamela's brownie mix that had a recipe on the back for a cake using the mix. I think the website also has recipes to use with her mixes.

The yogurt idea is brillant! My mother-in-law loves angel food cake, this will be great for her birthday.

As far as frosting goes....is this an area for concern? For birthdays I used to use the old powdered sugar and vege' shortening but it's not very healthy! I'm still new to cooking gluten-free and I've got so much to learn. I've called a grocery store several times to find out ingredients. The last time I called about cheese and got a well "DUH" response. I'm finding that I'm supporting the companies that help to make the gluten-free lifestyle easier!!

Thanks again!!
