Do you know the Muffin Man? Who lives on Drury Lane? We’ve never met him personally, but we have met the supplier of Trader Joe’s Gingerbread Cake & Cookie Mix, and we can attest that they put Gingerbread genius in every box of this ginger-forward, multi-purpose baking Mix.  

Each box contains an old-fashioned Mix of wheat flour, sugar, molasses powder, and ground ginger, cinnamon, & nutmeg. Ginger lovers will especially enjoy the punchy pops of flavor provided by a generous amount of crystallized ginger. Combine the Mix with an egg and a bit of oil and water, and it bakes up to an incredibly moist and tender cake, offering plenty of warmth and sweetness. Or, with just an egg and a softened stick of butter, you have everything you need to make festive, full-flavored Gingerbread Cookies! 

While you wait for your Cake or Cookies to bake, why not brew a cup of Cinnamon Spiced Coffee? It's an excellent accompaniment to a warm slice of Cake with a schmear of cream cheese, or a Cookie-topped bowl of ice cream.
