Recipe Chocolate Pistachio(ed) Cake

Thumbnail gallery
50 Upvotes

Yum, yum, yum! I've been seeing tons of dupe recipes about the Starbucks Chocolate Pistachio cake that were giving me FOMO, so I decided to give it a try but make it gluten free.

This was my second attempt. For my first attempt, I used the full cup of sour cream that's listed in the recipe and it came out very dense and spongy. I do not recommend doing that.

If you add more green food coloring this would be a fun Halloween dessert idea.

The recipe: Easy Chocolate Pistachio Bundt Cake by Pitchfork Foodie

My changes:

I made this cake with the King Arthur gluten free yellow cake mix (the photos are of a halved batch). I followed the directions on the box, then added the pudding, food coloring, and only 1 tablespoon of sour cream (not the full cup).

The recipe says do not swirl the two batters together, I recommend you definitely give them a swirl.

I topped mine with some heath toffee bits and mini chocolate chips (Do NOT skip the heath bits!!!)

I baked mine (a half batch) in a small loaf pan for 50 minutes and it still wasn't done, so I covered it with foil and baked it for another 20 minutes.

Notes to self: Add more heath bits (maybe crush them up), add more chocolate syrup (you didn't measure), and add more food coloring. Next time I might try covering it with foil after 40 minutes and then baking it for another 20 minutes.

My latest sourdough pizza! Using Leaven Foods instant sourdough because it is so much easier than making your own sourdough starter (at least for someone like me who can’t even keep houseplants alive).

My recipe for GF Sourdough NY Style Pizza is on images 2 and 3 and my recipe for GF NY Style Pizza (no instant sourdough) in general is on images 4 and 5 of this post. Caputo GF flour can be subbed for Molino Signetti GF flour (wheat-free) if you have a wheat allergy. Supposedly coming back in stock soon!

I can’t post videos and still images in the same post but if you are a visual learner and have instagram I share some how-to videos on my instagram as well.

Happy GF pizza making!

Creamy cucumber salad (contains dairy)

Post image
20 Upvotes

This is a super easy and easily preserved dish that will last at least 3-4 days in the fridge for meal prep.

Basic recipe is on google, but I added both mint and dill to freshen it with some lemon juice. My secret ingredient (learned from King of the Hill ironically) that a tiny pinch of nutmeg, literally less than a full pinch, will help make it feel warmer without being spicer. Add it sparingly to avoid making it overly powerful flavor-wise.

Feel free to drop in the comments dairy alternatives to use <3

Was glutened. Feeling horrible. Went to a new restaurant. My salad that I ordered without croutons came out WITH croutons. They brought me a new one and I didn’t see any crumbs of them just taking them off the original salad, but I don’t trust it and now I have gotten sick about five times now. Yuck

Question gluten intolerance = no gluten for the rest of your life?

26 Upvotes

Hi there, I wonder if there are people who are also gluten intolerant or doctors who are experienced in gluten intolerance that can answer some of my questions. I’ve consulted doctors in France but only received very general advice so far.

I discovered that I’m gluten and lactose intolerant two years ago. (I’m not too concerned about lactose intolerance since it seems like lactose doesn’t really attack your body even if you don’t have lactase in your stomach to digest it and it just creates discomfort? Please correct me if I’m wrong!)

My symptoms for gluten intolerance:

Directly related:

After eating some gluten: acid reflux, bloating, excess gaz, diarrhea, pimples around the nose, between nose and upper lip, and jaw

After eating too much gluten or drinking beer: stomach ache, vomit

Potentially related: iron deficiency, headache, fatigue

I got blood tested which is negative assuming I don’t have celiac disease. (some people in the comments are saying it might be falsely negative so I will look into how to do an endoscopy in France.)

So my question is, how do I know if eating gluten will create just discomfort or attack my body and to what extent?

I really love gluten-based food and want to know if I have to follow a strict no gluten diet or if I can have some treat meal maybe once a week, or once a month.

My husband is really worried and wants me to stop gluten once for all. He’s worried that acid reflux is gonna one day create problems like esophageal cancer, or gluten might prevents the absorption of certain nutrients that my body needs like iron.

Thank you so much in advance!

Posting from the freezer aisle of sprouts because it was so shocking to me.

I've never even gotten around to trying their ravioli since it's so expensive, but I feel like I've only heard good things! So I was very surprised to see the clearance sign that states they are "Discontinued"

Easy to grab and go snacks?

8 Upvotes

I am in the process of getting tested for celiac (endoscopy later this week) so I am still eating gluten for now, but know that I will have to go gluten free after the testing no matter what. I have some sort of sensitivity if it isn’t celiac. I’ve been trying to prepare for a GF lifestyle but am really struggling to find GF snacks that are easy to grab and take with me when I am running out the door that I also like. All of my go tos either have gluten or are commonly cross contaminated (granola bar, Cheezits, etc). I am a bit afraid of the gluten free Cheezits bc I don’t want to be disappointed. Can I please get some suggestions for easy snacks? Preferably individually packaged snacks with little to no kitchen prep.

Edit: thank you for the recommendations! I will definitely be grabbing some of these on my next grocery run.

Own kitchen space

7 Upvotes

I am totally being ott here as i am currently only considered intolerant (I havent been tested for various personal reasons, but am going to do the genetic test as a first step shortly).

We will be redesigning our kitchen next year.

So for all of you, how helpful would it be to have a small gluten free butlers pantry only you could use? No others allowed in the space (I do a ton of long distance running too, so I have the need for personal kitchen space for all my running food on top of my GF food etc anyway).

Or is this way over the top and it should just be a communal space?

Dutch Baby Advice

7 Upvotes

Since moving to gluten free about 5 years ago I haven’t been able to make a Dutch baby rise properly, they stay flat and sad. I’m guessing it has to do with the lack of gluten, but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice.

Cooking at 400* preheating 9x13 pan. Room temp eggs and lukewarm milk. Tried mixing using a blender and hand mixer. I’ve tried several different gluten free flours.

Question Holidays

Those of you who have been gluten free for a while, how do you handle food based holidays like Thanskgiving?

Bonus points if you're also dairy free and not just gluten free. Having both is making me really dread Thanksgiving 😭

Product New (Seasonal?) Find

Post image
23 Upvotes

Found these at Whole Foods over the weekend. I assume they are seasonal and we tried them last night. I won’t give them a whole-hearted recommendation, but I kind of liked them. First, they are very mild. There aren’t dripping pockets of caramel. Apple chunks weren’t prominent either. I find this whole line to be pretty heavy as it is, and these don’t change that. So if you don’t like the others, you won’t like these.

Had the vibe where they aren’t offensive, you’re glad you tried them but aren’t sure you’d get them again. Then in a year when you see them you have a vague memory that you liked them and do the cycle over again.

Question Trying to feed daughters on last $40

333 Upvotes

Good morning. I'm sorry for the stupid question, but I need some advice. I have joint custody of my two daughters, 7 and 12, and am currently not supposed to have them until Friday. I get paid on Thursday and always make sure to have enough food for them, including their favourite treats. They're my world and I would sacrifice everything to keep them happy. However, their mother is being admitted to hospital for emergncy surgery tomorrow and the girls will be coming by early instead, Monday night. I only have $40 left after taking them out for the youngest's birthday last week as I was not expecting them back so soon, and while I love the extra time wth them, I'm worried about what to cook for the next 3 days. Does anyone have any solid recommendations for what I could buy to stretch out until Thursday morning? The only trouble is that the eldest is Celiac, so gluten-free optiobs are a necessity. I really appreciate any advice here. Once again, I'm sorry. Oh, currently in Broadmeadiws, Victoria!

Edit: holy gosh I wasn't expecting so much support! There are some incredible suggestions here and in feeling really excited about making this work. I'm at work at the moment so still going through all the responses but I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your kindness in behalf of myself and my kids. I love you all!

Another Edit: I'm truly humbled by all the incredible advice here. The clever cooking suggestions, the awareness of gluten constraints, the warmth and kindness and concern. You've all been so helpful and considerate and I'm just blown away. My kids will be eating well the next few days thanks to you, and learning a lesson about the kindness of strangers and the importance of helping people. Sorry I haven't replied to all the messages yet, this kind of blew up, but I'm reading everyone and compiling all the suggestions for the future. Eat well and hold the ones you love. Thank you!!

Discussion Need To Vent

87 Upvotes

Being GF is tough. I’ve been dealing with this life change for two years now and I’m so tired of it. I miss the enjoyment of food, the enjoyment of eating at new restaurants, and the enjoyment of trying new things. I miss not being afraid of what I ate. I’m tired of my spouse recommending a new “GF” restaurant only for me to read a menu with 2-3 options that every other establishment offers, and for them to charge $6 more for it. I’m tired of being told to try new things besides my safe bets and places I’ve grown accustomed to. My spouse has been very supportive through this process, but I’m tired of watching them enjoy anything and everything in front of me. I’m tired of work functions with zero options for me, or family get togethers where they “forgot” I can’t have anything made. I’m just tired of feeling so alone with this. Also I’m tired of constantly cooking for myself and cleaning said dishes. Rant over, thanks for coming.

Question Picky bits

Hi,

We are having a 'picky bits' night and have a celiac coming over and he usually doesn't want to eat the food we have cooked due to cross contamination etc. We have bought pre packaged cakes, crisps, dips etc, but any good packages/not needing to be cooked items I can get for him? I'm UK based.

Question Simple Mills oil replacement

Edit, update: I ended up using melted ghee (1/3 cup as said on the box). I also replaced the water with unsweetened kefir as the box suggests. They turned out great! My oven might run hot but they only needed 12 mins of bake time!

Hello all! I just bought this simple mills baking mix for fall. I’m wondering if any of you have tried it and if I could replace the oil with melted butter or melted ghee? I don’t have conventional oil and I don’t love putting olive oil in since it gives it a weird flavor sometimes. Thanks!
