1-2-3 Gluten Free

We tried out a new gluten free brand, 1-2-3 Gluten Free Inc.  This company is dedicated allergen-free & gluten free.  Their facilities are certified by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO), as well as, free of are peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, soy and casein.  They also are Kosher!

We tried their Bundt Pound Cake Mix.  My family loved it.  It actually is as simple as one, two, three.  We poured in the batter, added the ingredients, placed it in the oven.  Voilà!  Probably the easiest bundt cake I will ever make.  To avoid one problem we had - make sure your bundt cake dish is the right size, mine was too big.  The cook time was slightly longer than the packaging indicated - we went for an extra 15 minutes.

To make the cake special I added a chocolate ganache drizzle (or in my case chocolate ganache saturation), my man made some whip cream and we cut up strawberries.  It was amazing!

 

Happy Friday!!

Artisanal Gluten-Free Cupcakes

I have mentioned several times that I am now making cupcakes out of a new book.  I am not altering the recipes and I will not be placing the recipes online. 

I love this book and highly recommend it for a gluten free household!  The recipes all utilize a gluten free flour combination of brown rice flour, sorghum flour, corn starch, potato starch, potato flour and xanthan gum.  I find that the cook times accurate (something that is hard to find in gluten free recipes).  The recipes are well organized, easy to follow, and relatively fast to make.

This weekend I made the vanilla with chocolate frosting cupcake. (Page 45).  My family loved the vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting.  It is one of the more standard cupcakes we have made.  By standard I mean no fillings, no candy ingredients, no fruit, no cookies or fancy frosting.  Of course, sometimes simplicity can be simply understated.  My family ate all 24-30 cupcakes over last night and this morning (I would know the exact number, except they kept disappearing as I made them).  Ramona wants her birthday cake made from this cake and frosting recipe.  My man actually asked me to make more (a high compliment from him).

On a Maffeoberry scale this book gets 5 out of 5 maffeoberries. 

Happy Saturday Morning!
