Hi,

I just made a cake from the Gluten Free Pantry. It was fine but it was very dry. Anyone have any idea how to fix the problem.

Thanks

The cakes that I make the recipe calls for either margarine or oil. I find that when I use oil, it makes it much more moist...... Which do you use?

I add a fruit flavored yogurt. Like black cherry to chocolate cake, or Lemon to vanilla.

Try adding a little applesauce. You can also used mashed banana but that adds a flavor where applesauce does not. Claire

Plain yogurt does the trick :) Add a 1/2 cup to a cup to every recipe. It works perfectly.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
