The carrot cake I grew up with has been my favourite cake. You never have to feel guilty eating it. It’s surprising that carrot cake contains a ton of nutrition. You can bake this cake for any event or party and it will always be a hit.
It was made out of a love for carrot cakes and my amazing husband’s 60th birthday. When he requested a carrot cake, in my mind’s eye I could already see the perfect strain to pair with one of my already created carrot cake recipes — Mr. Nice. The Mr. Nice Carrot Cake is the result. This cake was very popular at the party, and it proved strain-specific baking is important.
Mr. Nice is a blend of flavors that includes earth tones and spices with hash. This strain will have you licking the fork as these flavors dance around with carrot cake. The strain is a perfect match for the cake and frosting. Mr. Nice was never so tasty! This cake is great for desserts, mid-day snacks or any time you feel like it. The cake goes well with dark coffees, teas or milk. From my kitchen to you, enjoy with love!
Mise en place:
Cake:
• 2 cups AP Flour
• 2 cups turbinado sugar
• 2 cups Grated carrot
• 1 cup Crushed walnuts
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 3/4 cup Vegetable oil
• 8 ounces crushed pineapple
• 4 ounces Coconut flakes
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Almond extract
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon ground
• 2 teaspoons Pumpkin spice
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
Frosting:
• 3 cups Powdered sugar sifted
• 3/4 cup Cannabutter Mr. Nice (infused with 6 grams of cannabis)
• 2 – 8 ounce Cream cheese in packages
• 1 tablespoon Almond extract
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
Step 1 Pre-heat the oven at 350 degrees. Make sure to add all dry ingredients evenly into the bowl. Add the buttermilk, pineapple, eggs, and oil. Use a mixer or whisk to mix until blended. Then add grated coconut, crushed walnuts and flakes of carrot. Stir until well combined.
Step 2. Lightly grease a 9″ bunt pan or cake pan of your choice. Pour batter in the pan, and bake it for 25-30 mins or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the over and let cool.
Step 3 You can make the frosting while the cake cools. In a mixing bowl, combine the extracts, powdered confectioners’ sugar, and cannabutter. To get your frosting the desired color, add the white food dye.
Step 4 Place the top of the cake back on and frost the outside. Replace the top on the cake and frost it. Decorating the cake is up to you, just make sure each part of it has an equal amount of decorations. Dosing each piece of cake correctly will be ensured. Now you will have 12 pieces of cake infused with Mr. Nice. Enjoy!
Dosage:
You can calculate the dosage of the cannabis butter you want by dividing the THC level in the recipe by the amount of the cannabis. Reduce the amount of cannabis in this recipe if you’d like a lower dose. You can add more cannabis if desired. This cake is 12 portions and 3/4 cup contains 12 tablespoons.
Strain Substitution
Any strain that has terpenes to compliment Mr. Nice’s earthy flavor would be my recommendation. Buddha’s sister, G-13 and Hashplant (the sweeter tasting variety) are great options. Have fun and be creative!
