Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options
As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something. Below we will explore all of the different ways you could infuse this weed cake recipe or alternatives for next time.
Cannabutter: If you don’t have my Bliss Cannabutter, you can easily make cannabutter at home in a slow cooker, Instant Pot, or double boiler. You can also make kief butter. You can then use the prepared melted butter directly in this recipe if you want.
Cannabis oil: Whether it be coconut oil or another oil infusion, this second option should work well in any store-bought mix.
Cannabis sugar: Cannasugar is a very easy and versatile recipe to make, although the process can take a long time. If you are using a favorite homemade cake mix, you can swap in the cannabis sugar here.
Cannabis concentrates: Concentrates like distillate and FECO are the perfect options for those who do not like the taste of weed. Just be mindful of the amount of cannabis concentrate you add to a cannabis recipe, as they can be very potent and the end product can have a very high THC content.
Ground weed: This option works in a pinch, but isn’t right for everyone as you leave the plant material in the cake batter. If you go this route, just make sure to go through the decarb process first, as this gives us the activated ingredients needed.
Notes and Expert Tips
- Make sure you scrape down all sides of the bowl before baking so that you incorporate all of the cannabis product into the cake.
- As a general rule, if you want less cannabis and more cake, feel free to give yourself a small serving of this recipe, or portion control with individually sized cupcakes.
- If you want more cannabis with your cake, double up with this cannabis-infused buttercream frosting.
- Choose your strain of cannabis based on the desired outcome you want. Want a full-body high? Look for Indica genetics. Want something a bit more upbeat? Look for a Sativa-dominant hybrid.
- Feel free to experiment with the edibles dosage calculator – it’s a great way to guestimate the THC levels in your cake.
- Make this recipe into a cake pop for a convenient on-the-go version and a fun way to medicate.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s really up to you! If it’s your first time making cannabis edibles, I would go with a cake mix that you know you really enjoy.
Yes, you can easily change the flavor of the box mix if you want to create a marijuana chocolate cake or even a marijuana sponge cake. For a fresh, bright flavor, you can add some fresh lemon juice to the batter.
Every person is different, and it depends on how many mg of THC you consume. For some people, the effects last 2 hours for other effects can last up to 12 hours. One of the most common mistakes I see is overconsumption, so, it’s a good idea to know your tolerance level and how to dose your edibles correctly.
