Measure the infused ingredient
The infused ingredient here is cannabutter. Keep the amount tied to the strength of the infusion you actually have rather than assuming a universal dose. Use the THC potency calculator for the full batch, then divide by the exact yield below.
Dose deliberately: potency depends on the strength and amount of your infusion. Calculate the complete batch, divide evenly, label infused food clearly and keep it away from children and pets.
GATHER & MEASURE
Ingredients
For the lemon loaf
For the lemon glaze
Measure the 6 tablespoons plain butter separately from the 2 tablespoons cannabutter. Set aside the powdered sugar and separate lemon juice for the glaze.
FROM PREP TO FINISH
Make it, step by step
Prepare the pan & lemon sugar
Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan and line it with a parchment sling.
Whisk flour, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, rub sugar and lemon zest together with your fingertips until fragrant. Whisk in eggs, yogurt, lemon juice and vanilla.
Fold a tender batter
Whisk plain butter and cannabutter into the wet mixture. Fold in the dry ingredients just until no flour streaks remain.
Bake & cool the loaf
Scrape into the pan and bake 48 to 55 minutes, until a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then move to a rack and cool completely.
Glaze & slice evenly
Whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice into a thick glaze. Spoon over the cooled loaf and let set before cutting into 10 equal slices.
Questions about Cannabis Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf
Can I use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes. Full-fat sour cream works one-for-one.
Why did my loaf sink?
The center was probably underbaked or the batter was overmixed. Test the middle, not just the edges.
Can I skip the glaze?
Yes. The loaf is flavorful without it, though the glaze adds a useful burst of acidity.
