Needs Moar Cake

While I think I prefer the Gluten-free Pantry Gluten-free vanilla cake mix, it isn't sold anywhere in my county. So this time, I'm trying to make a vanilla cake with the Namaste mix.

My previous attempts with the Namaste Gluten-Free Cake Mix have been very meh. The texture is a bit gritty, and the vanilla flavoring is just...meh. So this time I'm playing with it to see if I can't make it a bit better.

The mix calls for
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup water

I'm using:
3 tbs Ener-G Egg Replacer
3 tbs Dari-Free
2/3 cup oil
1 1/4 cups Pacific Vanilla Almond Milk
A dash of French Vanilla (which is *not* gluten-free, just so you know)
About 1/2 bag of Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips

There's nothing I can really do about the texture, but let's see how the creamy-up works.

Result: Texture is about the same. The taste is slightly better. Chocolate chips are a nice touch, but it's not the best cake ever. Meh.
