Gluten Free Pound Cake

Submitted by baz938

"This recipe is great, because it always ends up moist and yummy. It leaves room for you to be creative. It can be a fix for whatever you are in the mood. It is very quick and easy, and my daughter who has Celiac enjoys helping make this every time....if you in a time bind, this works really well. We use this a lot for church gatherings so my daughter has something yummy she can have. I usually stick to the yellow cake mix with chocolate pudding mix and chocolate icing. I have done Yellow cake mix with banana pudding mix before and that is awesome too (especially when you sprinkle miniature chocolate chips on top before baking!!)."

ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 lb frosting, any flavor (again most are GF but you should always check you labels)

directions

Very delicious! I was unsure about making alterations to a gluten free cake mix, since gluten free baked goods are so tricky, but it turned out great! I used a vanilla cake mix and chocolate pudding. The cake was a little dense, but the texture was soft and slightly springy, and the cake was very moist. I used Okitsme's Cooked Fudge Frosting (Recipe #477405) which made it really decadent. Everyone loved it, and no one would have guessed it was gluten free!
