What is space cake?

Space cake is the popular name for an edible cannabis treat, often prepared in the form of a cake or brownie. It is an alternative way to consume cannabis, without the harmful effects of smoking. The use of space cake has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, mainly because it offers a longer-lasting and more potent experience than, for example, smoking or vaping. The effects of space cake can last for hours, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a relaxing experience without the smell or harmful effects of smoking.

Instead of inhaling THC into the lungs, the active compounds in cannabis are absorbed into the body through digestion. This results in a slower onset of action, but once the effects do kick in, they can be more intense and longer lasting. So space cake is not only a tasty way to enjoy cannabis, but it also offers a different experience than the immediate effects of smoking.

By processing the cannabis in butter or oil, you can control the dosage. This makes it possible to make a space cake with exactly the strength you want, from mild to strong, depending on the amount of cannabis you add.

Step 1: Make the cannabis butter

The first thing you need for your space cake is cannabis butter. This butter serves as the main ingredient that infuses the active components of cannabis, giving your space cake the desired effects. Making cannabis butter is relatively easy and requires few ingredients.

How do you make cannabis butter?

1. Grind the cannabis: Start by grinding the cannabis in a grinder. This will ensure that the cannabis is evenly distributed and that the active substances can be released properly. You can adjust the amount of cannabis to your liking, depending on how strong you want the cake to be. For a mild cake, you can use 2 to 3 grams of cannabis, while for a stronger cake you can add up to 7 grams.
2. Melt the butter: Melt 200 grams of butter in a pan over low heat. It is important to melt the butter slowly so that it does not burn. Keep the temperature low and stir occasionally to prevent the butter from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3. Add the cannabis: Once the butter has melted, add the ground cannabis. Make sure the cannabis is mixed well into the butter. Let the mixture simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring regularly. This ensures that the active substances in the cannabis are well absorbed into the butter.
4. Strain the cannabis butter: After 30 minutes you can pour the cannabis butter through a fine sieve. This will separate the cannabis from the butter, which you can now use for the space cake. The plant material in the sieve can be thrown away. It is important to make sure that only the filtered butter remains in the sieve.
5. Let the butter rest: let the cannabis butter sit for at least 2 hours. This gives the butter time to fully absorb the cannabis, giving you a powerful base for your space cake. You can also leave the butter in the fridge overnight to let the flavors really come together.

Step 2: Prepare the cake mix

Now that the cannabis butter is ready, you can move on to making the space cake itself. space cake mix from Cannabis Bakehouse makes this process super easy. In this mix you will find everything you need to make a light and tasty batter, without having to buy all kinds of ingredients yourself. You only need to add some extra eggs and butter to finish the cake. Here is how to do it:

Ingredients needed to make space cake:

• Space cake mix from Cannabis Bakehouse
• 200 grams of butter (with animal fats for a rich flavor)
• 4 eggs
• 2 to 7 grams of cannabis (depending on the strength you want)
• A mixer
• A cake tin
• A pan and sieve for the cannabis butter

Baking the space cake:

1. Preheat the oven: turn on the oven at the right temperature. It is important to preheat the oven well so that the cake is evenly cooked. Depending on the type of oven, use the following settings:
   • Electric oven: 160°C
   • Hot air oven: 150°C
   • Gas oven: Setting 2-3
2. Mix the ingredients: add the cannabis butter and the 4 eggs to the space cake mix from Cannabis Bakehouse. Use a mixer to mix everything together well. Mix on medium speed until there are no lumps and the mixture is fluffy.
3. Grease the cake tin: Grease the cake tin well with butter and dust the tin with a little flour if necessary to ensure that the cake does not stick to the sides. This makes it easier to remove the cake from the tin later.
4. Pour the batter into the mold: pour the batter evenly into the cake tin. Make sure the batter does not overflow and is evenly distributed.
5. Bake the space cake: place the cake tin in the preheated oven and bake the space cake for 60 to 70 minutes. The cake is done when you stick a skewer in the middle and it comes out clean. This means the cake is completely done.

Step 3: Let the cake cool

When your space cake is done, remove the cake from the oven and let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack. It is important to wait until the cake has completely cooled before cutting it, so that the texture is at its best.

Extra tips for a successful space cake

• Be careful with the dose: Space cake tends to work slower than other forms of cannabis use, so it’s important to be patient. Start with a small piece and wait 45 minutes to 1 hour to see how you feel. It’s always better to take less and eat more later than to overeat and feel uncomfortable.
• Variations in taste: the space cake mix from Cannabis Bakehouse is a great base, but you can always vary with extra ingredients to improve the taste. For example, add chocolaadd nuts, dried fruit or spices to customize the cake to your liking.
• Dosage control: The amount of cannabis you add to the butter determines the strength of your space cake. If you are baking for the first time, it is a good idea to start with a mild dose so that you can get used to the effects.
