Apple Space Cake

Ingredients & directions

The sliced apple cake

Ingredients

Set up Use an 8-inch springform, parchment, a whisk, and a flexible spatula. Measure the cannabutter separately and make up the rest of the 85 g with plain unsalted butter. Use plain butter to grease the pan.

Directions

  1. An eight-inch springform lined with parchment next to sliced peeled apples

    Prepare the pan and apples

    Set an oven rack in the middle and heat the oven to 350°F. Line the pan base with a parchment round and butter the parchment and sides. Peel and core the apples, then slice them about ¼ inch thick.

  2. A whisk mixing melted butter, eggs, and brown sugar in a bowl

    Whisk the batter

    Whisk the two flours with the baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, whisk the melted butter mixture with the eggs, brown sugar, and almond extract until lightly foamy. Mix in the dry ingredients just until smooth.

  3. A flexible spatula folding thin apple slices through a small amount of batter

    Fold in the apples

    Turn the apples through the batter with a spatula until the slices are coated. Scrape everything into the pan and spread the slices into an even layer. There will be a lot of fruit and a little batter.

  4. A baked apple cake on a wire rack with a slice cut from the round

    Bake, cool, and slice

    Bake 50–55 minutes, until the top is golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out free of wet batter. Cool in the pan on a rack. Release the ring and cut the fully cooled cake into equal wedges, then label the batch.

Storage Cover the cooled cake, label it as infused, and keep it secured away from ordinary desserts. Freeze slices for longer storage.

Kitchen notes

Use the apples and slices as your guide

Why is there so little batter?

The batter fills the spaces between the apples as the cake bakes. Keep the fruit slices thin and even so the center sets before the top gets too dark.

How much THC is in a wedge?

Use the measured amount and known strength of your cannabutter to estimate the batch total, then divide by the number of equal slices. The THC potency calculator can help with the estimate. Edibles can take up to four hours to reach full effect.
