Back last November we moved out of our house into temporary living in my In Laws basement until we closed on the new house. When moving in to their house we delegated some nights to share the cooking responsibility for the month we were there. Boy am I glad we did that! I found this cake recipe on Pinterest.

My mother in laws Celiac disease took over her body about 10 years ago. I decided to make the recipe gluten free so every could try it. Well that cake did not last long at all. Her and I may have had a second piece. The cake has been requested several times this year already.

Check out the recipe and let me know what you think.

Cake:

1-box of Pillsbury Gluten free Yellow cake mix.

vegetable/Canola oil which ever you prefer(follow the instructions on the box for measurements)

Replace water measurements with Milk or half&half

4 eggs

1 container Duncan Hines Coconut pecan Frosting

1/2 cup-Chopped Pecans

I add 1/2 of coconut(optional)

Glaze:

1/2 stick of butter(I use unsalted)

1 can of condensed Milk

1 cup of Chopped Pecans

1/2 cup of coconut

Instructions:

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.

Mix Cake mix, eggs, oil, and milk in a bowl. Once the cake ingredients are mixed well add the jar of frosting and OPTIONAL pecans and coconut. Pour mixture into a 13 x 9 pan. I use a glass Pyrex pan which you can order here. If using a different pan temp and time may differ. Bake cake mix 30-50 minutes. Check the cake with a toothpick. Once the cake is done baking remove from oven and let cool.

Glaze:

While cake sits and is still warm melt the butter in a medium sauce pan. Once the butter is melted add the condensed milk and stir to combine. Once the butter and condensed milk are combined add pecans and coconut. Do not let boil. When everything is combined well immediately remove from heat and pour over cake. Voila! Best Gluten free cake ever!!

Notes:

When I made this the first time I used a different oven than the one I have now. It took closer to an hour to bake. The new oven we have in the new house bakes a bit more promptly. I typically check the cake every 20 min, and possibly rotate after checking it the first time so it bakes more evenly.

This pretty much goes with out saying, however I am going to say it. THIS RECIPE CONTAINS NUTS! Definitely not nut allergy friendly.
