I am actually planning to workout a way of making my own "cake mix" from scratch. That must be an oxymoron or something like that, but it's how I like to do things.
**If you want this to be dairy free also you can sub vegetable shortening for the butter in the filling & oil for the melted butter**
Anyways, on with this recipe: GF Snickerdoodle Cake
Crunchy Filling:
3/4 Cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 Tablespoons butter
Cake:
1 15 oz. gluten free yellow cake mix
1/4 Cup vanilla instant pudding mix (that's something else I need to learn how to make from scratch!)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 Cup milk (I used almond milk)
8 Tablespoons (1 stick) melted butter
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
*preheat oven to 350 F
*oil two 8 or 9 " cake pans & line with parchment paper
*prepare the crunchy filling (just combine the ingredients until butter is incorporated) & place evenly into one of the cake pans & set aside
*put cake mix, pudding mix, & cinnamon in the bowl of a stand mixer
*mix to combine, then add milk, butter, eggs, & vanilla
*mix on low speed until just incorporated, then stop & scrape down
*mix on medium speed for 90 seconds
*divide between the 2 pans, place pans in preheated oven
*bake 18-22 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean
*when done, place pans on wire rack for 5 minutes
*after 5 minutes run a knife around the edge of pan & then invert cakes onto the wire racks to cool
*cool completely before assembling & icing/decorating
*when assembling, place the crunchy filling so it's in the middle of the cake, then fill & frost the cake as desired (I just used a standard buttercream recipe, but subbed my home made cinnamon extract in place of the vanilla extract called for in the recipe)
