I want to make a chocolate cake or cupcakes using Pamela's Baking Mix. I know they have a chocolate cake mix but it has sugar in it which I can't eat (I use palm sugar). Any ideas?? Thanks!!

I would email them and see if they have any suggestions, I've emailed them before and they're pretty quick to reply. They do have a recipe on the site for Coffee cake using the Baking Mix, so I can't imagine it would be too much of a stretch to make it a chocolate cake instead. However, I am not skilled in any way at altering recipes, so I won't even go there :P Maybe someone else has some ideas? I'd definitely try emailing Pamela's though! :)

I work with a lady that does a lot of gluten free cooking since her daughter is Celiac and she said she uses any normal from scratch baking recipe and just omits the baking soda and/or powder since the Pamela's already has the equivalent. I've never tried it but she swears up and down it works.

I always use the Better Homes and Gardens chocolate cake recipe. I sub the Pamela's cup for cup for the flour, omit the salt, baking powder and soda, and I use espresso instead of the water... makes it extra dark!

Sorry for the late reply, here's the page:

I use light olive oil instead of the butter and espresso or strong coffee for the milk (sorry, thought it was water... ;) )

Oh and FYI to all, I did email Pamelas and they said they do not have a choc cake recipe using the baking mix.

I'll let you know how the BH&G recipe turns out! I found a recipe on another site for chocolate buttercream frosting using palm sugar.

Exciting!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
