How to Make Space Cake (The Original Recipe)
Ingredients:
- ½ cup Cannabis-Infused Butter.
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour.
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder.
- ½ tsp salt.
- 1 cup sugar.
- 2 large eggs.
- ½ cup milk.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- ½ cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruits—get creative!)
Tools:
- Mixing bowls.
- Whisk or electric mixer.
- Baking pan (8×8 works perfectly).
- Oven thermometer.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan. Line it with parchment paper for extra ease.
2. Cool and Slice: Let the cake cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 8-12 pieces. This gives the cannabinoids time to settle for consistent dosing.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat your cannabis-infused butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step ensures your cake is moist and evenly infused.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, and vanilla to your butter-sugar mixture, then slowly fold in the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth, but don’t overmix!
6. Add the Fun Stuff: Fold in your mix-ins (hello, chocolate chips!).
7. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Just a heads up, how high you’ll get from that space cake really depends on how strong the weed butter is and how much weed you put into it. So, keep that in mind!
Tips For a Better Space Cake
Here are some awesome tips to help you whip up the most amazing, mouthwatering, and out-of-this-world space cake:
- Distribute the Infusion Evenly: Ensure your cannabis butter or oil is well-mixed into the batter to avoid hotspots. Uneven distribution could mean one slice sends you to the moon while another feels like regular cake!
- Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: Cold ingredients (like butter, eggs, or milk) can prevent proper mixing. Let them sit out for 20-30 minutes before starting.
- Invest in an Oven Thermometer: Cannabis compounds can degrade at high temperatures. Double-check your oven temperature to avoid ruining potency.
- Cool Completely Before Cutting: Cooling helps stabilize cannabinoids in the cake. Plus, slicing while warm can lead to crumbly messes.
Serving Suggestions
1. A few strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries offer a burst of freshness that contrasts nicely with the richness of the cake.
2. A small cup of coffee or a shot of espresso can complement and enhance the cake’s flavors.
3. Teas like chamomile, peppermint, or ginger can offer soothing and aromatic flavors that complement the cake’s taste.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Baking a space cake isn’t rocket science, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. Here’s how to fix common hiccups:
The Cake Is Greasy
A greasy cake usually happens when there’s too much cannabis butter or oil in the batter. To fix this, reduce the amount of infused fat and replace the difference with regular butter or oil. You’ll still get the potency without the oily texture.
I Can’t Taste the Cannabis
If your cake lacks that signature cannabis kick, you might not have decarbed your cannabis properly or used enough infusion. Double-check your process with my decarb guide, and calculate the right amount of cannabis butter using my dosage calculator to get the potency just right.
The Space Cake Tastes Too Earthy
An overly earthy flavor might mean your infusion wasn’t well-filtered or you didn’t balance the taste with enough complementary flavors. Next time, strain your infusion thoroughly, and consider adding bold flavors like chocolate, citrus, or spices to mask the earthiness.
Common Questions
Can I make this vegan or gluten-free?
Absolutely! Swap eggs for flax eggs and use gluten-free flour. The results are just as heavenly.
How long will the space cake stay fresh?
Stored in an airtight container, it’ll stay potent and delicious for up to a week. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
Just keep in mind that everyone’s got their own unique taste buds, so don’t hesitate to try out different combos and find what tickles your taste buds the most!
Also, remember to think about how cannabis might mix with other stuff, like if you’re planning to enjoy your space cake with some drinks or anything else. Just stay mindful of how things could interact!
