So funny you should mention that because I just made a gf yellow cake yesterday and my kids love it!! It's a regular white cake recipe, and I substituted gf flour for regular and lemon extract for vanilla extract. Would you like the recipe?

White cake
1 c sugar (I use organic)
1/2 c butter (I use smart balance parve)
2 tsp vanilla extract (sub with the same amount of whatever flavoring you want)
1 1/2 c flour (I use a gluten free multi-blend, forgot the brand name)
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 c milk (I use soy or almond)

Preheat oven to 350, grease pan (grease or line muffin tin if making cupcakes)

Cream together sugar and butter. Add in one egg at a time. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Slowly add to mixture. Stir in milk, mix until batter is smooth.
Pour into pan or muffin tins.
For cake bake 30-40 minutes
For cupcakes bake 20-25 minutes (I did 25)

This was a regular white cake recipe and I just changed a few things. I didn't cut down on the amounts or cooking time.
What I've discovered is that if you use a multi blend flour, for most things you can use the same amount and you don't have to change the cooking time or the measurements or anything like that.

I was diagnosed at 13 months old, but after growing out of the symptoms as a kid, I haven't really been careful. I started being careful a few months ago, and I really see a difference.

Good luck to you and your daughter!

thanks for the tip! eema of 3, so far I was using the baking mixes. I like katz's cake mix. it was easy to use and even the non gf kids liked it.

I made a cake mix once, when I first started this whole thing a few moths ago, but it had a rice-y, grain-y taste and texture and I didn't like it. I prefer just converting a regular recipe to gluten free. After I out my baby in for a nap I will try to figure out what brand my flour is and let you know.

katz fudge mix taste absolutely delicious ! and not that expensive.

on the other hand I find in cupcakes I use a regular recipe and replace with an all purpose mix either

-gluten free pantry's all purpose flour - NO GRAINY AFTERTASTE!
-authentic flour

if your interested I have a recipe I pulled out of binah's chanuka magazine (they show it with a cream in the center) I followed the recipe exactly but replaced the flour to gf and it was super. let me know if interested and I'll type it up for you.

Im in Israel so I dont have any of these cake mixes Sad

I do have a cookie mix - can I use that for cupcakes?

Try it and see :-) they probably won't be the same consistency as regular cookies. I would recommend trying to find gf multi blend flour though.
