Essential ingredients for a successful space cake

One of the most important ingredients in making a good space cake is, of course, cannabis butter. It’s crucial to use the right proportions of this ingredient to guarantee a balanced flavor and a pleasant effect. Before turning to the recipe itself, let’s detail the essential components needed to make this delicious cake.

Other essential ingredients include flour, which gives the cake its fluffy texture, and sugar, indispensable for a soft sweetness. Eggs contribute to the cake’s airy consistency, while chocolate can be added for those looking for an extra gourmet touch.

List of ingredients

• 200 g cannabis butter
• 250 g flour
• 200 g sugar
• 3 eggs
• 100 g chocolate (optional)
• 1 sachet baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Crumbled cannabis flowers (optional if you wish to enhance the aroma without altering the effect too much)

Space cake preparation steps

To make a perfect space cake, you’ll need to follow each step carefully to ensure even dough and optimal baking. Follow the instructions below to make your own space cake.

Mixing the dry ingredients

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. This will distribute the leavening agents evenly, increasing the cake’s lightness. Make sure the mixture is lump-free before adding the other ingredients.

Preparing the cannabis butter

As for the cannabis butter, it should already be ready before you start the recipe. You can consult various tutorials on its preparation, as it’s a delicate process requiring precision and time. Don’t forget that the decarboxylation of cannabis flowers is essential to fully activate their psychoactive properties.

Incorporating with eggs

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Gradually add the melted *cannabis butter* to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid separation. Once the mixture is smooth, gently stir it into the bowl containing the dry ingredients.

Adding chocolate and cannabis flowers

If you’ve opted to add chocolate, melt it in a bain-marie or in the microwave, then add it to the paste. Finally, add the crumbled cannabis flowers to perfect the taste. Mix carefully so that each portion of cake contains all the ingredients.

Baking and tips for optimum space

Baking is a key moment for revealing all the subtleties of a space cake. Here are a few tips to ensure a well-baked, tasty cake.

Temperature and baking time

Preheat oven to 180°C. Pour the batter into a buttered and floured mold to prevent the space cake from sticking during baking. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. To check doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the center of the cake: it should come out clean.

Rest and enjoy

We recommend that you allow the space cake to cool completely before cutting. This allows the flavors to stabilize and prevents the cake from crumbling when cut. Enjoy in moderation, taking into account the possible potency of the cannabis used.

Legal and safety considerations

Before preparing a space cake, it’s essential to be aware of the laws governing the use of cannabis in your area. In Europe, regulations vary, so make sure you comply with local standards to avoid any legal problems.

Responsible dose and effects

Space cake consumption should always be considered and controlled. Start with a low dose to assess the effects, as these may differ according to individual tolerance. Avoid any excess that could lead to discomfort or an unexpected reaction.
