Ancient Grain Cake Mixes Taking the Baggage Out of Gluten
We're coming full circle by bringing real wheat back to a generation that's been told to fear it.
no roller-milling * no bleached flour * no enriched wheat * no preservatives * no artificial flavors * no glyphosates * no emulsifiers
Two Flavors, Zero Compromises
Golden Hour Yellow and Anyday Chocolate. Both made with the same stone-milled ancient grains, the same simple ingredient list, the same European milling traditions. These aren't gluten-free cake mixes trying to taste normal—they're what cake mix should have been all along.
why ancient grains?
Spelt, and rye aren't new—they're what wheat used to be before industrial farming decided efficiency mattered more than flavor.
Stone-milling keeps the grain intact, preserving the bran, germ, and natural oils that roller-milling strips away to extend shelf life.
Ancient grains aren't a compromise—they're what baking was built on, back when ingredient lists didn't require a chemistry degree.
These heritage grains have been feeding people for centuries, long before anyone thought to bleach flour white or add synthetic vitamins back in.
We're okay with a shorter shelf life if it means a cake mix that doesn't need preservatives to actually taste good.
You get all the parts that make wheat taste like something, not just the parts that sit on shelves forever.

"Golden Hour" Yellow Cake Mix
We LOVED this cake. It was so good we ended up turning it into cupcakes. We didn’t even need icing. We had it in the morning with some cafecito and again as a snack later. Can’t say enough good things. By far the best cake mix I’ve bought. Even my mom loved it and she’s picky.

Better-for-you Betty Crocker? Say less.
I grew up on pound cake, but as an adult, my palate changed! I just can't do artificial ingredients anymore. This one beats any childhood memory. The olive oil twist? Genius. Next time, I'm turning it into cupcakes!

I love both flavors, but the chocolate hits the best with the rye. I am looking forward to trying the new receipe

I can’t believe something this good takes under 10 minutes to make. The flavor tastes like it came from a local bakery, not a box.

The addition of rye is soooo good - brings out the richness of the chocolate. Cake itself is SO MOIST.

"Anyday" Chocolate Cake Mix
WOW! I picked up some of this Ollin Cake Mix at Pop Up Grocers in NYC because I loved the packaging, but the cake itself was life-changing. Super moist crumb, and a delicious slight bite from the ancient grains. I kept it simple with lemon buttercream and raspberries which was a perfect combo.

Incredible! The rye brings out the chocolate so wonderfully, they go hand in hand. Added strawberry jam to mine and it was like chocolate covered strawberries!
