Slow-Cooker Gluten Free Upside Down Cake

May 7, 2014 By Ligia

I found this wonderful recipe on Betty Crocker.com. I had to adapt it but it was no big deal. I switched the cake boxes! Just use Betty Crocker’s  gluten free yellow cake.

IMG_2748

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices in juice, drained, juice reserved

10 maraschino cherries without stems, drained

1 box of Betty Crocker’s Gluten Free cake mix

Vegetable oil and eggs called for in cake

1. Spray 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and melted butter; spread evenly in bottom of slow cooker. Arrange pineapple slices on brown sugar mixture, cutting as needed to fit in one layer. Place cherry in center of each slice and around slices, as needed.

2. Add enough water to reserved pineapple juice to measure 1 cup. Make cake batter as directed on box, substituting pineapple juice mixture for the water. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries.

3. Cook on High heat setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Turn off slow cooker, uncover. Remove ceramic base from cooker to cooling rack. Cool 15 minutes.

4. Place heatproof serving plate upside down on ceramic base; carefully turn plate and ceramic base over. Remove ceramic base.

Note: Definitely check at 2 hours. Mine almost burnt. Also, the flipping of the cake is very tricky. I have made this twice and it always fall short of the plate (LOL). I’ve had  slide it over carefully.

It is SOOOO delicious. I brought it to a church event and all the ladies LOVED it.

I am sharing this recipe on Gluten Free Wednesdays.

Fabulous Gluten Free Mini Corn Dogs

April 2, 2014 By Ligia

I love making these Mini Corn Dogs. They are so easy and so yummy. Thanks to Pamela’s for sharing it. Here is the link: Mini Corn Dogs

IMG_2662

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack uncured, nitrate-free 100% beef hot dogs (I use all Beef Oscar Meyer’s)
  • 2 cups Pamela’s Gluten Free Bread Mix (no yeast needed in this recipe)
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 eggs slightly beaten
  • 2 cups warm water
  • I find that this recipe is too much, so I only make half the batter. I can still coat about 8 hot dogs (16 halves).

Directions:

In a 12-inch skillet heat approximately 2-inches of oil to 375°. ( I do not check temp, I just wait until its hot)

Slice hot dogs into quarters and set aside.

Mix dry ingredients together.

Lightly whisk eggs and water. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.

Heavily coat sliced hot dogs in batter ann place in hot oil for about 4 minutes until dark golden brown.

Drain hot dogs on cooling rack and serve.

And enjoy!

Gluten Free Apple Swirl Coffee Cake

March 19, 2014 By Ligia

IMG_2636I am a big dessert eater. When I switched my kitchen to gluten free for the sake of my two celiac boys, I was bummed because I love desserts especially apple desserts. So I made it my mission to find wonderful gluten free substitutes. So here is new one. I got this recipe from Betty Crocker.com.

Gluten Free Apple Swirl Coffee Cake

Ingredients
4 Eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 box of Bisquick Gluten Free Mix (3 cups)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 can (21 oz) of fruit pie filling, I used apple

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Prep:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease your pan. I used a 9 x 13. I think I will use two small ones next time and freeze one.

In a large bowl, mix first six ingredients until blended. Spread 2/3 of batter (about 2 1/2 cups) in the pan. If you are using smaller pans about 1/3 of batter in each pan.

Spread pie filling over batter. Drop remaining batter by tablespoons onto pie filling.

Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile mix glaze ingredients together. Drizzle over warm coffee cake.
