Gluten-Free Marble Cake

Basically to create an impressive gluten-free marble cake you'll need one each of the Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Yellow Cake Mix and the Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Devil's Food Cake Mix. Prepare both of the cake mixes according to package directions and then spoon the yellow and devil's food batter alternately into prepared pans. Take a knife and cut through the batter in a zigzag pattern. Bake until done. Frost with your favorite gluten-free chocolate frosting.

Except that you'll also add 1/2 teaspon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 cup finely shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup of pecans or walnuts. Top with your favorite cream cheese frosting.

If you've been growing a lot of carrots in your garden, this is a wonderful to use them up. It's also a great idea for coffee break.

I love to serve Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins at brunch. And it now makes me very happy that I'll be able to serve my friends that require a gluten-free diet. These gluten-free blueberry cornmeal muffins are so easy if you start with a Betty Mills Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix.

So after you get out your gluten-free yellow cake mix, you're going to add the following stuff - 1/2 cup cornmeal, 3/4 cups water, 1/2 cup butter melted, 2 teaspons vanilla, 3 beaten eggs, 2 teaspons grated orange rind, 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen don't thaw), 1 tablespoon sugar.

Spoon the batter into a muffin tin and bake until done about 15 to 20 minutes. You'll get about 18 muffins.

If you've got a craving for something ooey-gooey and chocolately, then start with a Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix and whip up a bar of Gluten-Free Rocky Road Bars. First you prepare a 13 x 9 pan with non-stick spray. Then make the chocolate chip cookie dough following the instructions on the box. Basically this means you add 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread in the ban and bake 20 to 25 minutes at 350.

As soon as the pan comes out of the oven, top with 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips and let melt.  Add 3 cups miniature marshmallows. Top with pecans.

The broil for 3 to 5 minutes to make it gooey and chewy!
