A microwave will reduce your time and allow you to enjoy summer. Approach this from a new angle or portion out the boxed cake mix to your liking. Either method will yield something as cake-like as it is quick. And for even more fun, keep a pot of frosting in the fridge to spoon on top and treat yourself!
Yellow Cannabis Cake Mug
Adapted from the Betty Crocker box set
Makes one cup, estimated 10 mg of THC
- 6 tablespoons canned yellow cake mix
- 1 teaspoon of cannabis butter*
- 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 2 tablespoons of beaten egg
- Frosting if desired
Take a microwave-safe mug and grease it well with non-stick spray or butter. In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients and softened butters until you have a thick paste. Store the extra egg in a sealed container for breakfast or breading and make sure the cake mix is tightly sealed until you use it again.
Add the cake mix and beat well for at least a minute to aerate the mixture. Keep going longer if you can stand it, the more air in the dough the better it will rise and the more evenly it will cook as the heat of the microwave puffs it up.
Transfer to the mug and scrape the bowl with a spatula, you don’t want to waste the small amount of batter you have. Microwave for 1 minute, then let sit in the microwave for 5 seconds as it will be quite hot. Top with a scoop of frosting and you are literally golden!
*Cannabis butter
Decarboxylate 3.5g of finely ground cannabis at 225 degrees for 20 minutes in a tightly sealed ovenproof container. Place the cannabis in a lidded mason jar or vacuum sealed bag with cannabis and a stick of butter. Heat in a water bath just under boiling for at least 1 hour. Strain and refrigerate to use in recipes.
