President’s Choice® Gluten-Free Yellow Loaf Mix
I love cake more than I love most people I know. If I could eat cake every day for the rest of my life without suffering terrible health consequences, I would. Gluten free cake just doesn’t cut it. You need the dense, chewy, texture that only comes from glutinous cake flour. Still, I continue to hunt for convenient gluten-free box cake mix.
Enter President’s Choice® Gluten-Free Yellow Loaf Mix, available at Superstore or Loblaw’s locations. This is as close as I think you can get to a regular pound cake.
I will admit that I bought this because it was 50% off and I was feeling the need for some dessert when I saw it. It’s convenient too. Crack in two eggs, and then add half a cup of oil, and half a cup of water. The batter also tastes
really good
even though you shouldn't eat raw eggs.
Gluten-free baking has a few problems. The first is that a lot of times, baked goods don’t rise. The gluten protein is what allows the rising agents to form air pockets. Another issue is taht the foods crumble apart as soon as you pick them up. A third issue is that they set up like cement, and you break your teeth off. This avoids all three. Unlike a lot of cake mixes, this provides a spongy texture, while still maintaining pound cake density. It keeps this spongy texture for several days, avoiding cement-like consistency.
It looks normal, it tastes normal, it is normal. Your friends won’t even be able to tell.
