So the first thing I learned how to make while going gf was a chocolate cake and thanks to betty Crocker its easy to make that gf/df.
I really live that the cake mix is made in a dedicated gf facility! For those just starting out on the gf journey this is an easy cake mix!
It calls for one stick of butter in the mix, but that is easy to switch to one 1/2 cup of coconut oil. If you like a hint of coconut flavor to your cake use unrefined coconut oil, but I use refined coconut oil in this cake.
I also added a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (dairy free) to the mix and I cook at 350° for about 40 minutes.
It makes a nice moist light cake (i've found some gf cakes are very dense and when I've made this for other people they always ask me if this cake is really gluten free!)
Enjoy!
Oh, so you use Kirkland chocolate chips! I have been gradually eliminating gluten from my life, but sometimes I just take whatever product and don't verify thoroughly because I don't want to know yet. (Baby steps) I'm relieved to know that my Costco chocolate chips ARE actually gf then!
ReplyDeleteThey aren't made in a dedicated GF facility so there could be issues of cross contamination, HOWEVER, our family has never had issue. They are not soy free but they are dairy free.
DeleteWe love them and they melt wonderfully.
