 Good stuff for celiacsFeb 19, 2008
By Sistertex
They don't make a Gluten Free cake mix better than this one. I love this one as well as the Spice Cake mix by Namaste. We also love using their pizza crust mix and their brownie mix. All very yummy.

No Frosting Needed!May 22, 2007
By C. Wollin
My kids loved this mix! We made it into cupcakes and they turned out so moist and chocolately that the kids were eating them before I had a chance to frost them. It's hard to find anything gluten-free they really like, so we definitely will be buying more.

Makes perfect cupcakes!Apr 17, 2008
By C. Villanueva
"mykidsmom"
My family and friends love this mix. I make cupcakes with it for my kids so they can have a treat at their friends' birthday parties. I've also made these for my kid's birthdays to take to class, and all the children were saying they were better then their Mom's cupcakes...teeheehee! They are so moist and rich. I make a few alterations though. Instead of the whole eggs, I use 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites. My gluten eating husband and friends ask for them all the time!

The Best Chocolate Cake Mix!May 24, 2008
By Hannah Quintanilla
"Your Uncle Hannah"
I've been searching for a really good gluten-free chocolate cake mix, and this is it! It's rich and chocolatey but not incredibly sweet. It has a lovely texture and holds together well (not really crumbly like some GF cakes).
BRAVO Namaste foods!

Love This - Careful about Baking ItNov 12, 2010
By J. Baldwin
"Auburn"
I was a little leery about using this mix based off the few 1 star reviews. I bought it for $5 from a natural food store to make a bundt cake for a dear friend with soy allergies. When I was mixing it up using an electric mixer, I tried some of the batter. I was also concerned as it was gritty, but crossed my fingers and didn't mix it any longer than I do other cake batters (a few minutes using a rubber spatula along the edge of the bowl to make sure it was mixed).
I was able to get enough for a Nordicware bunt cake pan and a few cupcakes. I decided to try a cupcake to make sure it was decent. The cupcake was delicious and moist with the corner edges that were slightly crunchy (something that could be avoided by a shorter cook time, but I liked it). My friend's cake was softer when I took it out (but fully cooked). When it cools down, I'll sprinkle it with powdered sugar. I can't wait to give it to her and her family! :)
It's possible the 1-star reviewers got duds for their cake mixes, but it sounds like their cakes may have overbaked. Here's a tip that may help others in the future:
Unless you are doing a box of Betty Crocker-type instant mix or maybe using lots of crisco/lard, a chocolate cake can overbake into a dry brick in minutes. Watch your chocolate cake like a hawk. I've ruined many 5-star cake recipes like that.
Start checking on your cake with a toothpick (or a skinny smooth chopstick) 5 minutes before the minimum end time. If it's not done, put it back in and check it every five minutes. It also really helps to use an oven thermometer (putting it where the cake goes after the oven is preheated) as a lot of oven have temperatures that are off.
I'm not sure why, but chocolate cakes seem to dry out faster than other cakes, and I bet it's even more so with this mix as the brown rice's texture would become way more pronounced with even a little overbaking. Hope this helps. Happy baking! :D
