Gluten Free Zucchini Snack Cake Recipe Version

What a marvelous world we live in when you can purchase reasonably priced gluten free mixes at the local grocery store. No extra trip needed to the health food store or specialty market! An added bonus are the additional recipes using the gluten free mixes on the Betty Crocker site. The Zucchini Devils Food Snack Cake recipe was tested here. Tis the season for a garden full to bursting with the beautiful bounty of summer squash.

I found the snack cake recipe to be absolutely delightful. Because the recipe has a crumble topping it does not need frosting. Like many gluten free recipes this cake benefits from a 24 hour rest on the counter under a cake dome or other container. After a day the cake tastes even more moist and supple and the crumble topping becomes sticky and rich. I might add a little more sugar to the cake itself next time or I might leave off the crumble topping and frost it as a cake.

The test ktichen used a round 9 inch pan although the recipe also gave the option of an 8 or 9 inch square pan. I also left the spices out of the recipe, so the chocolate taste could shine. I would love to hear what kind of variations you have tried with the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Devils Food Cake Mix.
