Pumpkin Cake

I found a recipe for a super easy pumpkin cake, and it's egg free too. I don't know how to link since I'm on my phone, but it is bigredkitchen.com. Two ingredients pumpkin cake with apple cider glaze. The blog post was old so this may be old news to some but I thought it was worth sharing.

While this is not from a gluten-free blog, I simply substituted gluten-free cake mix for regular mix. It is so simple..one box of cake mix (I used bisquick) and one can of pumpkin puree. Mix together, pour into a cake pan and bake at 350 for about 24 minutes. I made a cream cheese frosting instead of the apple cider icing and it was delicious!

Sounds good, I love anything pumpkin. I am going to go have a look.

So I tried this today... I was very hopeful that it would work, provided the reviews in the comments of the recipe and also the picture. I used Hodgson Mill yellow cake mix, added a 15 oz. can of pumpkin (not pie filling), and some vanilla and cinnamon. Put it in a greased 9 x 11 pan, baked it for a while at 350 F. It didn't rise at all. I couldn't get the toothpick to come out clean no matter how long I baked it, and it wasn't at all springy, so I started getting nervous. I put a powdered sugar glaze on it (powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla), and let it cool. When I started cutting it, it was really tough, and it was very dense (think pumpkin brownies). My dad and brother deemed it rubbery, and when my dad doesn't like something, that's saying a lot. I wasn't even brave enough to try it.

At least I was only out about $3 for the cake mix... Did I do something wrong or is this just a failed recipe?

If you want a good pumpkin cake, try Really Great Food Company. They are the absolute best! Their great products include banana bread, pumpkin spice bread/cake, lemon poppy seed bread, corn muffins, Aunt Tootie's devil's food cake mix. I have been celiac for 8 years, and trust me, these are the very best. It is worth the shipping. You won't be disappointed.

I am thinking it might be because the recipe is for a standard gluten cake mix which is bigger than a gluten free cake mix?

The cake mix was supposed to make two 8" or one 9x13" cake. I thought that's what the 'regular' cake mixes are supposed to make, too.

I made it with gluten free bisquick. Maybe your mix was too high quality? (I am not familiar with that brand). Sorry it didn't work for you.

ok gluten free bisquick has more baking powder to make it rise more.

did you use a whole box of gluten-free bisquick?

Yes, the whole box. But to clarify, it is a box of gluten-free bisquick cake mix, not just regular gluten-free bisquick. But I do agree with you...the extra baking powder probably made the difference.

I didn't know there is a gluten-free bisquick cake mix either! I want to compare the ingredients side by side too.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Okay, I got lost in the weeds here in this protracted thread. What are you taking omeprazole for? Your original thread had to do with dental, gum and thrush issues. Normally, a PPI is prescribed for people with GERD (acid reflux). How long have you been on omeprazole?

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi Charlie I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 d...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Caligirl57 hi and thank you for the reply! I have had myself scared to death over this. I am still having pain but it's not as bad. I have always had bad teeth and gums @trents thank you, so omeprazole is the right thing to take?

      @Charlie1946 You are more than welcome. If you are struggling with mental health do consult with a medical professional and follow their advice if they think you need medication, as I did for a while, but I hope you will find these books as helpful as I did on the road to recovery.

      Hi Charlie  I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 days to live. After 3 weeks, in hospital I received a liver transplant. I was so sick I was there for 3 months. After that my kidneys went south. I was on dialysis for 8 months and on a kidney transplant list. When we received the call about an available kidney (4yrs) I was so excited! After the transplant the surgeon told my husband I had a 1 in 10 million chase for a kidney transplant as my antibodies were at 99%. Only 1 percent of the population was a match to me. I’m 1 year out from my kidney transplant and have so much energy and life left to live!  Please everyone, listen to your body and get medical advice. I wish I had sooner.   i hope this will inspire more people to Donate to Life.

      Curious if any other disregarded celiacs medically, not eating wheat and other foods im not to consume but yes its in the house because others have to eat. Currently dealing with eye issues, skin issues,blood and colon look fabulous because NOT consuming. Now im dealing with i may have ms or meningioma....Im also sibo positive, ibs which they think is the cause, " depression " which medical has caused me.Why is it so hard for medical to believe. I went to ER Dec 23 per pcp and got blood drawn sick as hell looking like a corpse bride with dark circles and pale skin.No surprise they said my blood is fine and I had to say thats not what im here for because im always told its fine when not, Ketones waked and then they said I have the flu, ya the flu 24/7 for years battling what the heck is going on.Doctors really need to listen, understand celiac which I've tried to school in past from what I've learned on these websites but it feels as if running in a useless circle. Im to take gabapentin 300. for a week and then go up to 600 since taking this and a other med that was prescribed no longer taking because it makes me awake.This one too is amping me up to not be sleepy when I am tired. Just curious if meningioma or ms is a link to core issue of celiac?I also saw the proclamation but confused because it states that California has two women?  Do I reach out to them? Ive already wrote to my local representative in Stanislaus County.Being celiac and dealing with a circus of clowns that didn't diagnose one doesn't make celiac go away and its not fair or right to us.Im angery, diagnosed by gi doctor by biopsy before foods eliminated from my diet, celiac sprue at the age of 23 in 1994.Now menopause has killed any tolerance i had and body affected badly.No one should go through the medical HELL ive been through.  Also positive HLA-DQ2
