The texture of the cake is great, however it's a little bitter. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have not experienced any bitterness. But in all fairness, I do add additional ingredients for my Texas Special Cake recipe which includes lemon jello and other lemon-type ingredients. It is an excellent base for this purpose. I think creativity is the answer.

By itself, there is a little bitterness. If you add a little fruit juice to the recipe in place of some liquid, it kills the bitter taste. I use this mix to make pineapple upside down cake. It is amazing. I also make this plain, cut it into squares and slice in the middle, then add some canned fruit in natural juice to it to make a fruit short cake. Top with whipped cream for the perfect dessert.

I have tasted that with several gluten free items that are not betty crocker as well. Top it with a nice (& sweet) Pamela's gluten free frosting mix and you'll be good to go!

I have not had this experience. I do, however, usually follow the recipes on bettycrocker.com/gluten-free where this mix is doctored up a bit. No one ever knows they are gluten-free unless I tell them. When I make them as the box indicates, I usually use a chocolate frosting and never taste the bitterness. Good luck!

There is a tiny lip around the edge. I have liked it so if a cake has a glaze, it won't run off the plate.

Slow and steady is how it works. I haven't done anything less than about 1cm. It may get crumbly less than that but will still cut it off. Chill or even freeze the cake a little to help with the cutting.

It is not like shredded coconut that you would use on a cake. It is finer but not as fine as powdered sugar.

Again, in low levels of light, & with the low color temperature light quality of the candle flame, you will get a somewhat grainy & yellow/orange cast to the image. I don't know if there's a Tungsten color temp balance adjustment to correct the yellow cast as I've not had time to go into manual settings yet. I'm sure you can mess with some lighting additions that cast just enough light on the subject & leave the cake to look more candle light.Alan W

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

My son hated the chocolate cake I made with hemp oil. My husband loved it. It does have a distinct taste. So really depends how much you like the flavor.

I took it to a local bakery and when I picked the cake up it looked as part of the icing... It was part of the icing... It ate like part of the icing... In other words, it was dang good and you couldn't tell it was anything but a good piece of art,

Depending on how thick the batter is it can be tough, it also depends on how well you can hold it up in the air also. The regular cake batter was fine and not alot of pressure, it dispenses nice and clean.

I've made this cake mix dozens of times and it is usually always moist for a couple days. Did you use large eggs. Also, maybe you cooked it a little long. I bake it just until the cake tester/toothpick comes out clean.

It is clear, but the texture in the middle makes it look frosted.I like it.

I just tasted it and it seems unsweetened. I haven't used it for baking yet so I can't really know for sure.

Sorry but I could not conquer the "sticking" of the bundt cake. I used every non-stick spray,Bundt non-stick products, but it ended up a mess and not worth the price. I thought I could do it. The cake was tasty. Tunnel of Fudge was not there, just intersperced in the cake.

I have, once. Haven' t quite figured out right temp/ cooking time. But I am happy to have bought a 6 inch, since most of time I only bake for 2 people. I'll soon try another cheese cake. Form cleans up niceley.

I've tried chocolate PB, Chocolate, Cookies and cream, and strawberry cheesecake. I think this flavor has more of the gritty texture than others, but they all have it to an extent. The taste makes up for it from my perspective.

The cake does get stuck. Mostly close to the center point. I ended up bending the sweeper to clean under it and wasn't able to get it to lay down as flat as before. I haven't used it since so I'm not sure how much it will impact the ability to get the cake out cleanly.

Did you mix the ingredients thoroughly? I've never had an issue with texture. Also is this the only flour you are using? I usually mix several different types together.
