Space cake is basically a pastry (can be brownies) that has been infused with cannabis butter. Popularised by its availability in Amsterdam, space cake has gotten a special reputation of its own. Perhaps not the fastest way to get high, as it generally takes a while for the effect to kick in, you’d want to look out for one thing when trying out this cake : not overdo it! Some patrons of this delicacy did report instances that once they started having it, it was difficult to stop.
But how does one make space cake anyway? Is it a simple process? The good news: The process for marrying hemp and a cake is simple. The process is explained next.
Weed Cake – Decarbonization process
The first step in making a weed cake is to prepare the weeds. It must be “decarbonized”. Decarbonization is the process of heating hemp and is therefore suitable for most foods.
Tetrahydrocannabinol Acid (THCA) produces and regenerates THC when heated from marijuana compounds. You don’t feel anything when you eat marijuana in its original state.
This is because it is a mental activity, not THCA, and you are not subject to decarbonization. However, when the weed is smoked, the heat is ignited at the cannabis, which activates decarbonization and THC, and is very useful.
When learning how to make a weed cake (or any other edible cake), you must first understand that soaking THC in food requires decarbonization. Otherwise, your food marijuana cannot be used.
Low-carbon weeds are used in many baking recipes. It can be used to make wedding cakes, cupcakes or other desserts such as cookies or ice cream.
Very efficient decarbonating weeds. You can eat hemp, but consuming a quarter ounce of skimmed hemp is not recommended. May be numerous in small quantities.
Cooking is usually done with hemp resin or cooking oil infused with THC oil to add weeds. Hemp cakes often use hemp. This recipe can use decarburized weeds, but hemp can also be used.
If you don’t have marijuana, you can. Soon after you start thinking about making a weed cake, this is also an excellent opportunity to begin researching cannabis recipes. Cannabutter is a cooking staple that helps with a variety of foods.
To decarbonize the weeds for roasting, proceed as follows:
- Preheat the oven to 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grind until the hemp is smooth.
- Place parchment paper or parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Pour in the ground weeds and distribute them evenly in the container.
- Put the baking dish in the oven, stir every 15 minutes and bake for 45 minutes.
- Be careful not to cook the flower buds at high temperatures. Otherwise, cannabinoids and terpenes are destroyed.
How to make a space cake?
Equipment needed
- Mixing bowl
- Mixing spoon or spatula
- Frying pan
- Parchment or non-stick spray
- Pot or hot plate
- grinding wheel
- Manual or electric mixer
- main ingredient
- 1¾ cup of flour
- ¾ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ cup white granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of cannabis or 8 grams of cannabis bud
- One egg
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of dried fruit
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
- ½ box of chocolate frosting
Manual
- The space cake is easy to make. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. This way, you can start cooking when you mix the ingredients. Dissolve the marijuana in the oven, remove the dough and melt the plain butter in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds. If you want to make a chocolate cake, put the chocolate chips in a saucepan to soften it. Keep it cool so that it does not burn.
- When the chocolate melts, combine the ingredients in a bowl. First, take the egg and sugar, stir until smooth, then add the milk and stir. Add a teaspoon of salt and finally add a little flour to mix. Stir the mixture until the dough is uniform. If you are busy, you can use an electric mixer.
- Add the melted butter, the decarburized herb, and the dried fruits. Alternatively, you can add hemp. Then add the melted chocolate and mix the ingredients with a spatula or an electric mixer.
- The second method is to melt the plain butter in a saucepan, mix it with the ground dough, then add the dough.
- After preparing the dough, sprinkle it over a pan or place a piece of paper on a sheet of paper and pour the dough into the pan. Distribute evenly and place in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
- When finished, insert a knife to check if the cake is cooked from the inside. If it is spotless, you can check if the cake is ready. Otherwise, add a few more minutes of cooking time. Do not burn the top of the cake. This is a common mistake people make, especially newbies.
- Let the cake cool on the wire rack of the baking sheet for about 20 minutes. Then let cool for another 20 minutes. When it’s cold enough, you can decorate it with frosting or soft candy.
- If you want to cream the cake, cut it into two layers, place the cream in the middle, connect the two parts, and place a layer of ice cream on the outside. If you want to decorate your cake for a birthday or entertainment, prepare some cream or fudge to cover the cake.
- If you don’t like making it from scratch, you can buy a mix of cake mixes and use flaxseed butter instead of regular butter. Alternatively, decarbonized hemp can be added to the cake mix.
Sugar ingredients
- Six tablespoons of pistachio powder
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup of half-cream
- Five glasses of powdered sugar
Manual
- Use a spatula or electric mixer to beat the butter until frothy.
- Add the pudding powder and mix well.
- Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, stir and use for the marijuana about an hour before.
- For the fondant, shape it to about ½ inch thick and place it on top of the cake to shape the cake. If you want people to know the whole cake, you can use a knife to make marijuana leaves with fudge.
- When making a cannabis cake, different varieties can be used to change the cake’s taste and aroma. Good strains include Lemon Haze, Royal Biscuit, Purple Queen, and Solomatic CBD.
Looking forward to the day to bake our own space cake? hehe. Till then, keep on the metta.
