Betty Crocker vs. Cherrybrook Kitchen Gluten Free

And the winner IS...
Cake B, Betty Crocker Gluten Free Devil's Food Cake mix. For taste and moistness.










It won with the baker as well because it was much easier to work with. The other one kept falling apart as I was assembling it. Though that didn't stop it from getting eaten...









There are a few things worth mentioning about these gluten free mixes. The Betty Crocker mix requires 3 eggs and 1 stick of butter (I used 1/2C oil) while the Cherrybrook Kitchen mix is dairy and egg free. That means even if dairy allergies aren't a concern, you still only need water and oil for the mix. The price of each mix is about the same, ~$4.50 each. Another important note; when buying gluten free cake mixes, the boxes are the same size as any other cake mix box, however, they only make one layer. Not two like conventional cake mixes. So when making a layer cake, you'll need two boxes making the cost ~$10 for each cake in addition to frosting.

After drooling over these pictures, you're gonna want the recipes for the Chocolate Mousse Cake and Ganache.
