— April 11, 2019 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's recently introduced a gluten-free baking mix that is sure to satisfy those who love chocolate. The Trader Joe’s Fudgy Chocolate Quinoa Loaf & Cake Mix is a two-piece set that includes a mix made from minimal ingredients like quinoa flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, natural flavors and salt, as well as a fudge sauce to add to the decadent yet healthy creation. Trader Joe's refers to the fudge sauce as "the not-so-secret ingredient" that adds richness and moistness to the finished cake.

When it comes to using the gluten-free baking mix to prepare either a cake or a loaf, the only wet ingredients that need to be added include some kind of vegetable oil of one's choosing, plus water and eggs.
