Part 4 – How to make space cakes
- Heat your oven to around 113°C. Grind your dried cannabis and transfer it to an oven-safe container. Leave the pot in the oven for 40 minutes, removing any moisture and making sure that most of the cannabinoids are bioavailable.
- Before you cook the weed space cake, the oven should be heated to 190 degrees Celsius.
- Spoon the batter into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 20 seconds. The butter should be melted and look like a gloopy paste.
- In a small bowl, mix cannabis and butter until cannabis is well incorporated.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients until they reach a consistency that is neither too wet nor too dry. Note: If your mix is too dry, you can add more milk; if it is too wet, you can add some more flour.
- Prepare a cake pan by greasing it with non-stick baking spray or lining it with non-stick paper.
- Add your cake batter to the baking tin or cake pan, spreading it around evenly to ensure your cake will be the shape you desire.
- Cover your tin with foil or baking paper and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- When you gently insert a skewer into the center of the cake, it will come out clean. If there is any batter on the skewer, bake for a further five minutes and test again.
- Take the cake out of the tin or oven and set it upside down on a wire rack for 40 minutes.
- Once your cake has cooled, spread frosting on the surface and decorate it with your favorite toppings.
Part 5 – Eat your space cakes and get high!
The last and final step of our amazingly tasty space cake recipe is to eat them, but I’m sure you need no instructions on that. If this is your first experiment at making your own edibles, go easy on them. Space Cakes take a while longer to digest so the high wont hit you as fast as if you were to smoke a joint. Standard advice is to wait 30 – 60 minutes after eating one, before you grabbing a second. This allows the Space Cake to digest and your body to absorb some of the THC.
