Measure the infused ingredient

This recipe uses cannabis cooking oil in a controlled part of the formula, then uses conventional ingredients for the rest of the structure. That keeps the food tasting like the dish first and an edible second. Before cooking, estimate the strength of your infusion with the THC potency calculator, then divide the finished batch into equal portions.

Dose deliberately: potency depends entirely on the strength and amount of your infusion. Calculate the full batch, divide evenly and label infused food clearly. Effects from edibles can be delayed.

GATHER & MEASURE

Ingredients

For the citrus cake

To finish

Citrus cake ingredients with three eggs, yogurt, orange juice and two separate olive oil pitchers

Keep the ½ cup plain olive oil separate from the ¼ cup infused oil when measuring. The powdered sugar is an optional serving finish, not part of the batter.

FROM PREP TO FINISH

Make it, step by step

  1. Flour and leaveners being whisked beside a parchment-lined round cake pan

    Prepare the pan & dry mix

    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment and grease again.

    Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

  2. Golden olive oil being whisked into a pale egg and citrus sugar mixture

    Whisk citrus sugar, eggs & oils

    In a large bowl rub orange and lemon zest into the sugar. Whisk in eggs until pale, then slowly whisk in plain olive oil and infused oil.

  3. Citrus cake batter being gently folded beside a prepared round cake pan

    Fold the batter & bake

    Whisk in yogurt, orange juice and vanilla. Fold in the dry ingredients just until smooth.

    Bake 34 to 38 minutes, until golden and a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  4. Powdered sugar being sifted over a cooled single-layer olive oil cake on a rack

    Cool, dust & portion

    Cool 15 minutes in the pan, turn out onto a rack, and cool before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing into 10 portions.

Recipe FAQ

Questions about Citrus Haze Olive Oil Cake

Can I use cannabis coconut oil?

Yes, but the flavor and crumb will change. Melt it gently and use it as part of the total oil.

Does olive oil cake need refrigeration?

Not for the first two days if kept airtight at cool room temperature; refrigerate longer storage.

Can I use only infused oil?

You can, but blending infused and plain oil makes flavor and potency easier to control.
