This might be Joe’s best gluten-free product yet.
The other flavors are also incredible, including the seasonal Lemon Mini Sheet Cake thats currentlyback for spring.
The cake is always moist, and the icing-to-cake ratio is utter perfection.

So, when I switched to a gluten-free diet for health reasons,these popular sheet cakescrossed my mind.
Oh, how Id miss them.
But it didnt last long in my household.

How did Joe pull this off?
With the help of expert bakers of course.
We thank them for their time and devotion, because the hard work paid off.

Whats ingluten-free flouryou ask?
It depends, but usually some combination of grain-based flours and plant-based starches.
Its also not too sweet, which commonly happens withgluten-free desserts.

Im not saying theyre not edibleIm saying theyre not identical to their gluten-containing counterparts.
And two of my gluten-eating family members said the same thing.
Dont just take my word for it.
Shoppers over on the Trader Joes subreddithad a few thoughts, which largely echoed my own.
It doesnt taste gluten free at all, one poster said.
This is a top tier cake, and I usually dont like gluten-free products, another person commented.
This is the best of their mini sheet cakes, by a lot, boldly claimed a third shopper.
The consensus is that as far gluten-free cakes go, this is among the best of the best.
But its not just good for a gluten-free optionits good period.
Of them all, this one takes the cakepun intended.
Just note that this product flies off shelves.
It sold out repeatedly when it first came out, but even now, its not always in stock.
We dont think its seasonaljust high in demand.
So dont hesitate to throw one in your cart if your local TJs carries it.
