A space cake is as awesome as it sounds. Imagine your favourite cake, but it's infused with the unbridled power of cannabis! Pretty much every coffeeshop in Amsterdam offers space cakes in one form or another, and they have become increasingly popular among those who want to experience an edible high in a discreet and tasty manner.

Fortunately, you don't have to travel far and wide to get your hands on one. With a few simple ingredients and roughly two hours of your time, you can craft this cannabis delicacy in your own home!


What Is Inside a Space Cake?

As we've already highlighted, the main ingredient in space cakes is none other than good ol' Mary Jane—that, and a load of milk, sugar, and butter. While the actual cake part of the recipe is simple enough, what many people struggle with is the amount of weed to use. It's very much a matter of personal preference, but the ratios we've outlined below are an excellent starting point.

Don't forget, you can always start by eating a smaller portion, especially if you're concerned about the potency.

We'll cover the finer points of space cake potency later on, but an edible high is notorious for knocking even the most seasoned stoners on their backs. If in doubt, take it slow!

Cannabis Space Cake Recipe

The total recipe time is approximately two hours, so gather your ingredients and equipment, and get ready to craft a luscious weed cake.

Ingredients

Space Cake INGREDIENTS
  • 8g cannabis flower, or the equivalent strength in trim or hash
  • 1¾ cups flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1¾ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

You can also include any ingredients you want to improve the cake, such as cocoa powder, vanilla extract, dried fruit, buttercream, and chocolate chips—your imagination is the limit.

Equipment

  • Grinder
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or mixing spoon
  • Cake oven tin
  • Non-stick spray or lining paper
  • Oven
  • Microwave
  • Small bowl
  • Skewer
  • Wire rack (optional)

Directions

Space Cake Recipe
  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 110°C. Place your weed (ground) in an oven-safe container. Heat it in the oven for 30–40 minutes. This will decarboxylate your cannabis, meaning that all cannabinoids become bioavailable.
  • Step 2: Remove the decarbed weed and leave it to cool. In the meantime, turn the oven up to 190°C.
  • Step 3: While waiting for the oven to reach temperature, put the butter in a bowl and place it in the microwave for 20 seconds. You want it to melt into a gloopy, pasty consistency.
  • Step 4: Mix your freshly decarbed cannabis into the butter.
  • Step 5: Add all of the sugar, flour, milk, cannabutter, eggs, plus anything else you want to your mixing bowl. Mix everything together until you get a batter with a nice, even consistency. This may take a few minutes, but it will ensure your cannabis is spread as evenly as possible throughout the cake mix.

NOTE: If the mix is too dry, add a splash of extra milk; if it's too wet, add some extra flour.

  • Step 6: Grease your cake tin with non-stick spray or line it with non-stick baking paper.
  • Step 7: Carefully pour your cake batter into the tin, spreading it around to distribute evenly.
  • Step 8: Place your tin in the oven and leave it to bake for 25 minutes.
  • Step 9: After the 25 minutes, pierce the centre of the cake with a skewer. If it comes out clean, it is ready; if the batter sticks to it, leave the cake in the oven for another 5 minutes. Repeat as necessary.
  • Step 10: Allow the cake to cool for about 20 minutes in the tin; then, place it upside down on the wire rack and remove the tin, allowing it to cool for a further 30 minutes.
  • Step 11: Once cooled, decorate the cake with anything you want. Buttercream icing is a fan favourite.
  • Step 12: Marvel at the beauty of your space cake, and get ready to enjoy one of the tastiest and trippiest edibles around.

Making space cakes might be simple, but consuming them can be a little trickier. Here are some answers to your most commonly asked questions.

Cannabis Space Cake: FAQ

Q: How long do space cakes take to set in?
A: Cannabis edibles (including space cakes) take roughly 40–60 minutes for the effects to come on. Even after the initial buzz hits, the sensation builds for several hours. Because of the way THC is processed in our digestive system and liver, it's crucial you allow at least an hour (if not two) between portions. Doubling down on space cakes is a surefire way to end up greening out.
Q: How much space cake should you eat?
A: Even if you're experienced with edibles, starting with a single portion is recommended. If (and only if) you aren't feeling it after two hours should you eat some more. For most people, a single portion of a well-mixed cake will be plenty. For more advice on portion control, potency, and the strength of your space cakes, our edibles calculator explains all.
Q: How do you stop the effect of space cakes?
A: If events take a turn for the worse, unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do to stop the effects of space cakes immediately. The good news, however, is that any unwanted side effects will pass in time. You can also try drinking plenty of water, staying distracted, and eating some sugary foods to lessen the overall intensity.
Q: How long do space cakes last?
A: Space cakes use lots of fresh ingredients, so you'll only have about a week to finish all portions, unless you freeze them. You should also ensure the cake is stored in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain its freshness. Given the short shelf-life, it's better to focus on baking smaller cakes and focusing on quality over quantity.

SECTION 5 – COOKIES

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Essentially, when you use our website, your computer displays its cookies to us, informing our site that you have visited before. This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient. At Royal Queen Seeds, we use two types of cookies: functional and analytical.

5.2 Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies are used for research and market analysis. The data collected with these analytical cookies is anonymous, making it unusable for third parties. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
