May is the month for mega birthdays in our family; over a half dozen counting extended relatives. This year we used it as an excuse to rally the masses for a fun in the sun gathering. Of course, where there are birthdays and fun, sugary substances are sure to follow. These are occasions when I give myself permission to cheat. Fortunately, there are crowd pleasing, allergen free, products which allow me to do so without having to experience the unpleasant side affects of my tummy talking back to me after consuming them.
My sugary substance of choice this round was a chocolate cake mix by Pamela’s Products, which I made into cupcakes, topped with a chocolate frosting mix by Dr. Oetker Organics. Make no mistake this is pure “crack” as my family fondly refers to unhealthy food, especially the kinds that will thrust you into sugar overload. Beside a notable abundance of sugar this treat also contains refined white and sweet rice flour. Not recommended on a regular basis if working on improving overall health. And for those of you that are taking the chocolate challenge with my sister Lavinia, this treat is completely verboten. For the rest of us, break it out on special occasions and enjoy!
Attributes of Pamela’s Chocolate Cake Mix:
- Wheat-Free and Gluten Free.
- Brown Rice Flour is an ingredient.
- Although produced on equipment that also produces products containing, tree nuts, soy, eggs, and milk these are not listed or added ingredients.
- Made with cane sugar.
- Just add oil and water.
- Tastes scrumptious.
- Bakes in 15 minutes.
Pamela’s Products also produces a tasty brownie mix. Check it out in your local health food store and grocery such as Chamberlin’s, Whole Foods or Publix if you live in Florida.
Enjoy the cheat treat!
