This time it was the Chocolate Cake mix from Namaste Foods
Making this allergen-free was a simple adaptation. I followed the package directions to add oil and water, and substituted ¾ cup of flax seed goop for the three eggs. (If you haven’t tried making flax seed goop, it’s time you did – this is really easy once you get the hang of it.) I also added ½ cup of chopped cranberries (I still had some leftover from the holidays). I used a standard vanilla frosting, and for a bit of a surprise I sprinkled a few Enjoy Life chocolate chips
On the plus side, the mix is made in a dedicate facility, free of the most common allergens AND corn (but it does contain xantham gum). I also think it’s great that this mix makes two layers – so you only need one package.
The cake was very spongy and dense. I think I might lighten it up next time by using only ½ cup of flax seed goop. All in all, a great treat!

It looks good. I'd love a slice right now please. I had good results with their spice cake, and I might try the muffin mix next, based on your recommendation.
E, I wish I could give you a slice! I've made the muffins before and have been very happy with them!
