Betty Crocker sure is giving this whole gluten-free thing a nice shot. I certainly appreciate it, because I think above all else it makes gluten-free people feel a little more normal. There's something comforting about knowing you can eat something that good 'ole Betty made. There's something even more comforting to your friends who never have any idea what in tarnation to make for you, who can now grab a box of gluten-free cake mix right next to the box of gluten-FULL cake mix.
Let's all breathe a collective sigh of relief. There!
That said, I think they have a little ways to go in perfecting these mixes before they come out just right. My cousin tried the chocolate chip cookies and hated them. These weekend though, our sweet niece made us a gluten-free yellow cake for our family (hubby's side) get-together. She covered it in whipped cream and strawberries, and it really turned out well. It really worked as a short cake or pound cake as it was definitely quite dense. I wouldn't recommend it for a true white cake. Our aspiring chef neice hit the nail on the head though with the whipped cream and strawberries! Not gonna lie, I ate some for breakfast today. Yum!
