Namaste Foods Gluten Free Spice Cake Mix

Namaste Foods Gluten Free Spice Cake Mix

 

My mother brought me this mix back from the U.S. I believe she picked it up in Michigan. It comes in this great brown paper bag with clear instructions and tips. In fact it states 3 variations to the regular recipe; spice cake, carrot cake, gingerbread and applesauce cake! I went with the original but also added a few table spoons of homemade applesauce. I must admit I love mixes. It brings me back to making a regular old cake mix from the box. I started making gluten-free recipes about 4 or 5 years ago after finally realizing there was a way for me to enjoy baked goods and feel better while doing so.  But I digress. The batter smells delicious and as they are baking it fills the house with that warm, almost Christmassy aroma.  Sure it’s Febuary but it’s definitely a welcome smell any time of year. The taste was nice, not the best. It’s hard to explain what the funny taste was but we enjoyed them just the same. I added some applesauce to a regular butter-cream icing along with some cinnamon. If I could buy some Namaste products here I defiantly would. In fact the site has a letter you can print out to bring to your local store to suggest they carry their products. Very cool! Other than that option you can order online, something I’ve never done with food but I may consider it.
