Happy Birthday to the boyfriend. A friend gave me this mix and I had been waiting for a good time to use it and this seemed like it. I was a little wery of using a box cake mix, especially GF. But I added the stuff it said to in the mix. You had to add 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of yogurt (I used plain soy yogurt), vanilla, butter (vegan Earth Balance) and I think that's it. I mixed it all together and it got really thick. I got excitied and started eating the batter. yummm I can taste it now...... I used partchment paper because I wanted the cake to come out well to decorate it. But I didn't know cakes had to bake for so long! I've actually never make a cake by myself before ;) And I ended up doing this late on a friday night, which worked out well because I made the AMAZING frosting while it was baking, did dishes then the cake was done. Took it out and left it to cool overnight, then frosted in the morning. In the end, it turned out super well. I would highly recommend this mix. Now I want to try all the Whole Food's GF mixes! I finally got to try the cake after I gave it to my boyfriend. We both loved it. It stuck together quite well and was moist. So I was proud for making yet another desert! Here's the recipe for the frosting! Cheers to a gluten and dairy free cake!Dairy Free Chocolate Frosting
1/2 cup (1 stick) dairy-free margarine, room temperature
2-1/2 tablespoons honey (really added to the texture!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup dairy-free 100% cocoa powder
2-1/2 tablespoons water
2-1/2 cups powdered sugar
Place margarine, honey, and vanilla in mixing bowl. Sift cocoa into this bowl. Using electric beaters at low speed, cream these ingredients together. Add water and sift powdered sugar into mixture. Beat with electric beaters on medium speed until well mixed. Use frosting to frost cake.
Makes about 2-1/2 cups frosting, enough to frost a 9-inch double-layer cake.
Finished!
