Betty Crocker Cake Mix

I want to make a crumb cake this weekend but because the Betty Crocker mixes make a smaller amount than you would normally get from a traditional box mix I am going to make 2 boxes combined into 1 pan. Has anyone done this? I'm wondering what the baking time would be?

I have done this two different times now. The first time I mixed the choc and yellow and poured it into a 9x13 pan. I thought it was a little to thick for me. So next time I poured them into a 1/2 sheet pan and it turned out perfect. It was a little thinner (only about 2 inches instead of 3-4) but it was perfect with caramel frosting. The baking time was about the same for me. I am not sure what your elevation is. Make sure not to cook them too long they will get really dry.

CARAMEL FROSTING!!!!?

Would you plese share your recipe or provide information on gluten free caramel frosting?

My daughter's birthday is on the seventeenth and because she is restricted beyond gluten we are having a hard time with frosting.

Thank you!

I just wanted to report in that I made these tonight and they were a big hit!!! It was suggested (by hubby) to put the cream cheese mixture in the middle (partially fill muffin tin with batter, add a bit of the cream cheese mix and then finish filling with batter). I will try that next time. I wanted to try it on top this time because that was the way skinnyminny wrote it and sometimes things will naturally sink in. Anyway, thank you for posting. They were great and we will make it again!!!

Also, just for added info, I used 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. I also used regular cream cheese (because that's what I had), about a teaspoon of vanilla and three heaping tablespoons of powdered sugar. I did not melt the cream cheese but let it soften.

Ha exactly what I thought! I had a pumpkin craving and used what I had on hand. I am wondering if you could use the cake mix to make a pumpkin roll. But these are way easier no flipping out of the pan, rolling or messy powder sugar!

OH*MY*GOSH!

This is the best gluten free thing I have tasted- ever. I cant believe it!

They are just like the ones at starbucks... I sprinkled a little gluten free granola on each one and they turned out fantastic!

I do not own muffin pans so I looked at muffin pans today thinking about this pumpkin recipe. I may have to go back tomorrow to buy them. I found extra large muffin pans, only 6 muffins to one pan at a cost of $18 each at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Yep, I'm going to get them just for this recipe. The things we'll do for a good muffin!

Price those pans elsewhere...I bought the extra large 6 cup pan last year at Fred Meyer's and think I paid $6!

Also that size of pan makes great mini pies...I made apple, cherry, berry, cheeseburger, chicken alfredo, chicken and veg, turkey, ham and broccoli with cheese, breakfast style, Italian, taco, cheeseburger, baked bean, BBQ chicken...drop them in a baggie and freeze, heat and eat...my dd loves them.

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae.  I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health).   I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides.  I prefer the supplements.  I feel better and my bones feel stronger.   References: A composite protein enriched with threonine, lysine, and tryptophan improves osteoporosis by modulating the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41915427/

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
