Scores: (1-5, 5 being the best)
| Taste |
 |
The taste was very sweet. There is an abundance of crumble topping which provides
all the taste.
| Texture
|
 |
The omission of eggs results in a heavy, dense cake that is somewhat pasty.
| Storage
|
 |
The baked cake will keep wrapped in plastic wrap for a few days.

These mixes have a fair distribution on the west coast.

Although we found this product lacking in taste and texture, our comparisons
were to baked products containing eggs. For an egg-free product, we found this
product to be a good option.

The Cravings Place produces cookie, coffee

We tested Cinnamon Crumble Coffeecake Mix
Ingredients:
BROWN RICE FLOUR, WHITE RICE FLOUR, TAPIOCA
FLOUR, NON-ALUMINUM BAKING POWDER, XANTHAN GUM, BAKING SODA,
CINNAMON AND NUTMEG. TOPPINGS: BROWN RICE FLOUR, SUGAR, VANILLA
BEAN POWDER (VANILLA BEANS, CORN BASED DEXTROSE), AND CINNAMON
This is a great product for those who must
avoid eggs and dairy in addition to gluten. The omission of
eggs does produce a heavier cake with an almost pasty texture.
We found the cake to be fairly easy to assemble,
although the process is much like that of preparing a pie
crust, as one must cut in the dairy-free margarine.
