Today is DH’s birthday, and coincidentally DD and her husband will be visiting us for the weekend. Since there will be others to help eat it, I decided to bake a cake for the occasion. Since the SIL recently switched to a gluten-free diet (and it’s helping ), DH suggested I look for a gluten-free cake mix.
I was thinking that SIL would just enjoy the ice cream and pass on the cake, but went looking for the cake mix anyway.
The grocery store had a Betty Crocker gluten free cake mix for $4.29. Ouch! That’s almost four times a regular cake mix. But I decided to get it, because otherwise I’d be buying rice flour and other things to try to make a gluten free cake from scratch and who has time for that?
So this afternoon as I’m baking the cake I see that the mix makes one 8”x8” cake instead of the typical 13”x9” from a cake mix. So that effectively makes the cost of the gluten free cake mix eight times that of a regular cake mix.
Good thing we like the guy.
