Wake and Bake: Easy-to-Make Space Cake Cannabis Recipe

The use of space cakes has been one of the most common ways of consuming cannabis in an edible form. Originating from Amsterdam, it’s probably the most popular cannabis-infused treat you can come across. Always yummy, and it’s not that difficult to prepare in your own kitchen. Provided that you have the proper tools for making baked goods as well as fresh buds that will add a punch and a kick in the sugary treat. 

For making a cannabis space cake, you need to follow pretty much the same steps as in baking a regular cake. The big difference during preparation is that the weed or hashish you add is melted with butter, so that the THC can dissolve into the fat. The infused butter is mixed with the rest of the ingredients, you bake the cake, the cake comes out of the oven - you cool it off, and it’s ready to eat.

Baking Instructions:

After you supply all the materials and ingredients needed for the space cake cannabis recipe, follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the oven to temperatures between 220°F to 235 °F (100°C to 110°C).
2. Using an oven-safe container, place the ground weed in the oven and keep it there for around half an hour.
3. Melt the butter in the microwave until it gets all gloopy.
4. Take the weed out of the oven and mix it with the butter.
5. Add all ingredients in the mixing bowl (sugar, flour, milk, eggs, infused butter, etc.) and mix until everything blends together and has a nice consistency. Pour in some more milk in the mix if it looks a bit dry, or more water if it appears a bit too wet.
6. Grease the cake tin pan with a non-stick spray or use non-stick baking paper to line the pan.
7. Pour the cake mixture evenly on the cake tin.
8. Place it in the oven and let it bake for 25 minutes. The usual temperature for baking most cakes is between 325°F and 350°F (160°C and 180°C).
9. Check if the cake is well-baked by stabbing a skewer in the center. If the skewer is clean after removing it, the baking is done. If it is not clean after removal, bake the cake for 5 more minutes.
10. As you take it out of the oven, let the cake cool off for about 20 minutes in the cake tin, then place it above the wire rack upside down and let it cool for another 20 minutes.
11. Time to serve and enjoy your weed-infused space cake!

What Weed Strains to Use When Making Space Cakes? 

There are really no rules or limitations to what type of cannabis you add in your space cake. However, the more flavorsome the strain, and richer in terpenes, the more it will add to the bite. Below are a few suggestions that you can consider, but again, it’s really up to you and your preferences, and the most important part remains to get the laced butter right. 

Apple Fritter 

A strain that has won the market and consumers over the last three-four years. It’s a strong one; Apple Fritter can have THC levels anywhere between 22% and 32%. Because of its sugary and fruity fragrance, and a taste that reminds of sweet apple with spicy, earthy hint, it can be a perfect addition for your space cake cannabis recipe. 

Ice Cream Cake

Or, how about reinforcing your space cake with some Ice Cream Cake? This strain is a cross between Wedding Cake and Gelato (you can also try those for a space cake). With up to 25% of THC, Ice Cream Cake also tastes sweet and creamy, has a hint of vanilla, and a citrus-like aftertaste. Its olfactory profile is a great promise to pair well with any luscious treat you make. 

Runtz

Runtz cannabis is one more strain with a rich sugary taste profile, therefore it can be a great match when cooking space cakes. When smoked, Runtz weed smells and tastes like candy, and depending on the variety you purchase or grow, it may come with a berry punch in the end. A real sensory, mouthwatering pleasure anyway.

Those were some sickly sweet cannabis strains suggestions that can match well with your cannabis space cake recipe. Infuse your tasty treats wisely and remember that everything is much better when taken in moderation. In other words, be careful with edibles and wait a little after taking the first dose. Don’t forget that edibles hit harder and a bit later as the THC takes time to travel around your stomach.
