On January 27th, you can indulge without the guilt for National Chocolate Cake Day! It’s a day to be celebrated with all things chocolate cake. Although we don’t know the origin of the holiday, the dessert began in the 1700s when they discovered that grinding cocoa beans produced cocoa powder. From there, inquisitive souls took the cocoa powder and turned it into a worldwide threat.

What could be more delectable than a chocolate cake?

How about a cannabis-infused chocolate cake? It’s as easy as making a regular cake. A simple way to make marijuana edibles is to swap out regular ingredients with cannabis-infused ones, such as oils and butter. Go easy on the amount of marijuana you put in the recipe. A little bit goes a long way.

Cannabis-infused oils and butter are easy to make. Before you can make either, you have to decarboxylate your marijuana, also known as decarbing. This means your weed has to be baked to release the active compounds, including THC and CBD.

  1. Preheat oven to 220° F
  2. Spread about ½ ounce of finely chopped cannabis evenly onto a baking sheet or a glass baking dish
  3. Bake for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally to prevent burning
  4. The process is done when the buds have turned from a bright green to a darker brownish-green

Here’s a simple cannabis-infused oil or cannabutter recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cup water
  • 8 ounces melted butter or oil
  • ½ ounce decarboxylated marijuana

You’ll also need a medium saucepan, a wooden spoon, a cooking thermometer, cheesecloths, and a container for your cannabutter or cannabis-infused oil.

  • Place the water and butter or oil in the medium pan and cook over very low heat
  • When the butter has melted, or the oil has heated, add the decarbed weed.
  • Mix well and gently simmer for approximately four hours, stirring frequently
  • Make sure the mixture doesn’t exceed 180 ° F
