A GENTLE BAKE / A LONG CHILL

Make room in the refrigerator first.

The oven is only one part of this cake. Its method calls for a 45-minute water-bath bake followed by eight hours of refrigeration. Plan the chill before you plan dessert.

COOKING NOTES

Handle gently. Slice cleanly.

Choose the nested pans first
The recipe calls for a 10-inch pie dish inside a larger pan. Check that the dish sits level and that you can lift it out safely before filling either pan.
Keep the water outside the cake
Fill the outer pan to halfway up the pie dish, as directed. Use oven mitts and move slowly when taking the hot water bath out of the oven.
Chill, then cut
Complete the eight-hour refrigerator rest. For cleaner cuts, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry between slices. Check ingredient labels and cross-contact precautions if avoiding gluten.

Keep it chilled. Count your slices.

Only the ½ cup cannabutter contributes cannabis; the other ½ cup is regular butter. Use that infused amount and the number of portions you actually cut in the THC estimator. Keep the cake covered in the refrigerator after its required chill.

Label as cannabis edibles and lock away from children and pets. Effects can take up to two hours to be felt; avoid taking more while waiting.
