How to Make a Delicious Marijuana Cake

How to Make a Marijuana Cake

Green Dragon tincture is concentrated oil extracted with alcohol. The alcohol acts as a solvent to dissolve trichomes from the rest of the cannabis plant. In this green dragon marijuana cake recipe, we create a green dragon liqueur from an alcohol-based tincture to create this ultra-potent treat.

This cannabis cake recipe uses pre-made cake and pudding mixes and tinctures, making it foolproof for bakers of all skill levels. Plus, it’s faster than making a marijuana cake from scratch and will taste delicious.

Cannabutter can be made in an oven, stovetop, or slow cooker, depending on your preference. You can use either ground weed or concentrate to add potency to the butter. We recommend using unsalted clarified butter because of the high-fat content that binds to more cannabinoids.

How to Keep Your Marijuana Cake Fresh

Cakes, whether a marijuana chocolate cake or rum cake, can last several days at room temperature unless it’s hot where you live. If that’s the case, you can put it in the fridge during the day when it’s hottest. 

Cannabis cakes can be stored between 2 to 7 days in the refrigerator if kept in an airtight container, depending on the frosting and filling ingredients. Covering the cake with plastic or other containers prevents it from absorbing different smells and drying out.

Cakes can be kept in the freezer for several months. 

Safe Consumption Tips to Prevent Greening Out

• Start with a low dose of about 2.5, 5, or 10 milligrams, depending on your tolerance. Wait a couple of hours before the effects kick in before consuming any more. Effects can last up to 8 hours.
• Properly label your weed edibles to warn other people. Practice safe storage and keep it away from children and pets.
• Avoid mixing cannabis with alcohol since this can significantly increase intoxication levels and cause dizziness, confusion, nausea, and anxiety.
• If you do happen to overconsume cannabis, remain calm. Effects will subside in a matter of hours. Find a safe and comfortable space where you can relax and sober up from weed.
