Reviews of Chocolate Cake Mix
Good - not great - Gluten Free Chocolate Cake
When I made this mix, I used oil and eggs exactly as suggested on the box. The only thing tricky was trying to determine when it was done, it's a very dense, sticky mixture that I didn't want to overbake.
Now for the important question - how did it taste? When you consider that I served it to people who had no idea they were eating something that was gluten free, it got reasonably high marks. No one called it a bad cake, neither did anyone rave about it. "On the sweet side" was one remark, along with a few comments about a different texture, but mostly people noticed really good chocolate.
I'll probably try other gluten free cake mixes, but I might end up back at Namaste.

Namaste Chocolate Cake Mix: kids like it!
A funny story about this cake mix -- my son's 1st grade class has a few kids with food allergies, including one of his best friends. For my son's birthday, my wife decided to make allergen-free cupcakes to take to class. She used the Namaste Chocolate Cake mix, Earth Balance Natural Buttery Sticks, Ener-G Egg Replacer, and Cherrybrook Kitchen Chocolate Frosting. She put them in the oven, and I took them out out after the recommended cook time, but they were just too gooey, so I put them back in. They ended up being in about twice as long as recommended, and they all had craters in the middle (egg substitute doesn't work so well). By then, they were still a little gooey in the (cratered) middle, and crispy on the edges. I frosted them anyway, but then suggested to my wife that we not even take them in because none of the kids would actually eat them.
When my wife went to pick up my son the next day, his allergic best friend stopped my mom and told her they were the best cupcakes he had ever had! He has since hounded his mom to get the recipe from us. My son said that only a couple of his classmates didn't eat theirs -- everyone else ate them! I was surprised, but I'm not gonna argue with a group of 1st graders!
When I tried one, they were actually pretty good. They were a bit gummy, but my son said he liked them that way.

I love Namaste products, and have written a review on their bodacious brownies. My friend tells me that the Cherrybrook Frosting is great! I think I'll bake us Namaste cupcakes for Mother's Day and bring the "little girl... more »
