This blog post will provide you with a step-by-step recipe to make a delicious cannabis-infused cake that’s easy to prepare and will leave your taste buds wanting more. So, let’s get started!
Gather Your Ingredients and Tools
To make this cannabis cake recipe, you’ll need to gather a few key ingredients and tools. For the cake batter, you’ll need the ingredients given below:-
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cannabis-infused butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- Cannabis tincture (any flavor)
As for the tools, you’ll need:-
- Two 9-inch cake pans
- Mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula for spreading frosting
Preparing the Cannabis-Infused Butter
Preparing cannabis-infused butter is a crucial step in making this cannabis cake recipe. To start, you’ll need to heat 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1/4 cup of ground cannabis flower together in a double boiler over low heat for about 2-3 hours. It’s important to stir the mixture occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even heating. After the allotted time, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer to remove any plant material. Be sure to squeeze the cheesecloth or strainer well to extract as much infused butter as possible. The resulting infused butter can then be used in the cake batter and frosting. Keep in mind that the potency of your infused butter will depend on the strength of your cannabis and the amount used, so be sure to start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
Mixing the Cake Batter
Mixing the cake batter is the next step in this cannabis cake recipe. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing two 9-inch cake pans. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well combined. In another mixing bowl, cream 1/2 cup of cannabis-infused butter and 1 cup of sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and continue mixing until everything is well incorporated. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until a smooth batter forms. Finally, add 1/2 cup of milk to the batter, and mix until everything is well combined. Pour the batter into the greased cake pans, and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once the cakes are done, allow them to cool completely before frosting.
Baking and Infusing the Cake
After mixing the cake batter, pour it evenly into the two prepared baking pans. Place the pans in a preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once the cake is fully baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before removing it from the pans. Use a toothpick or a fork to poke several holes in the top of the cake to allow for the cannabis tincture to seep into the cake. Drizzle the tincture over the top of the cake, making sure to distribute it evenly over the surface. The tincture will infuse the cake with additional cannabis goodness, adding a delicious twist to the traditional cake recipe.
Decorating and Serving Your Cannabis Cake
After the cake has been baked and infused with cannabis, it’s time to decorate and serve it. Spread a generous layer of cannabis-infused frosting over the top of the cake, and feel free to get creative with your decorations. You can use edible flowers, fresh fruit, or even some chopped nuts to make your cake look and taste even more delicious. Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the frosting can also add a nice flavor and aroma to the cake. When serving, make sure to slice the cake into even portions, and serve it with a cold glass of milk or a cup of hot coffee. This cannabis-infused cake recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday party, holiday gathering, or just a sweet treat to enjoy on your own. So why not indulge in this elevated and tasty dessert and experience the benefits of cannabis in a fun and delicious way?
