The topic says it all. I"d like to make a yellow cake but with no eggs. Has anyone done this with Betty Crocker's gluten-free mixes? TIA

I ran out of eggs while making the devil's food cake the other day. Instead of 3, I used 2 eggs and some Ener-G. The cake was definately more dry. My guests said it was light and fluffy, but I found it dry and lacking something. I did add extra grapeseed oil to make up for the fat lost in the egg yolk. I would think that undercooking the cake a little, and using a combination of Enger-G, oil and maybe pumpkin or applesauce to add back some density would be acceptable. We topped the chocolate cake with cherries and whipped cream instead of frosting. That made hid the dryness quite well.

Thanks for your reply! I'll give it a try!

I have tried Ener-G egg replacer...until I found out from the company that it contained corn. I now use ground flax as an egg replacer. Both have worked well for me in baked goods that bake right away like cake and cookies. I didn't have luck with flax in bread...it got gummy. I am guessing this is because it had to sit and rise for a while. If you can have corn, I would definitely recommend trying the Ener-G egg replacer.

Is that cake mix any good? I saw it at the grocrey store the other night and am thinking of buy either the cake or brownie mix.

The cakes are good but make only one layer. The brownies are good too. Pamala's cake mixes are really good and make two layers for about the same price.

I've used tofu instead of eggs. Soft Silken, about 1/4 of the package (1/3, cup I think.) I've doubled it (two boxes)to make a single-layer sheet cake.

I've also substituted 6 tablespoons of applesauce and made cupcakes. Much more moist. I'm not sure it would work in something larger like a cake.

Yesterday I made Gluten Free Pantry Scones. I used Ener G instead of eggs and almond milk plus apple cider vinegar instead of buttermilk. I used Earth Balance instead of butter. No dairy for me. I added raisins (no berries for me either :angry: ).

Everyone loved them and no one guessed they were gluten free. The entire dozen were gone before the end of the evening.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
