King Arthur Flour Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix

[tea-and-crumpets]

I made cupcakes out of the King Arthur Flour gluten free chocolate cake mix and they were really, really, REALLY good. They taste almost as good as my mom's homemade chocolate cake. They aren't too crumbly to eat out of hand, even. My husband liked them and said they tasted like gluteny cake.

The mix makes a LOT, though. It's meant to make two layers, or twenty-four cupcakes. I just froze the extras.

I used a 1/4 cup measure. The cups weren't filled very much and I figured the cupcakes would just be small but they actually rose like gluten cupcakes. The batter was really wet because it calls for 1 1/3 cups water. One small other bad thing is that the tops got a little gooey after they cooled. I'm not sure why. It might have been because I put them in ziplock bags. They still taste really good, though! I didn't ice them because I don't like buttercream and I find canned icing too sweet.

All in all it was a much better experience than I had making cupcakes with the Betty Crocker mix. I am definitely going to keep a box of this stuff in my cupboard.

I read a recipe for King Arthur chocolate cookies yesterday, so today I went to the small health food store, but all they had was Bob's. I've bought it, somewhat against my better judgment, but haven't opened it yet. The pancake I got of Bob's was just so-so. I'm not overly impressed. Has anyone tried Bob's all purpose flour? Should I try it or return it before I open it? I keep hearing good things about King Arthur, but I wasn't willing to really trek around today to find it.
