Weed Cupcakes: A Step-by-Step Cannabutter Recipe (Plus Muffins)

Weed cupcakes come down to one swap: replace some or all of the butter with cannabutter, bake as usual and dose carefully. Below are three recipes, chocolate-glazed cannabis cupcakes, classic vanilla cannabutter cupcakes and chocolate oat muffins. First up, the chocolate cupcakes. Ingredients:

• 100 grams (about 3.5 oz) cannabutter
• 4 fresh eggs
• 1 glass (about 1 cup) sugar
• 1 packet (about 15 g) baking powder
• 400 grams (about 14 oz) regular butter
• 250 grams (about 2 cups) sifted flour
• Lemon or orange extract, or grated zest
• 50 grams (about ½ cup) cocoa or chocolate powder
• 4 ounces (about 115 g) baking chocolate

Tools:

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Cupcake pan
• Piping bag
• Oven
• Double boiler (to melt the chocolate)

Instructions:

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the regular butter and the cannabutter. You can soften them a little in the microwave to make mixing easier.

Step 2: Add the sugar to the butter and whisk until you get a smooth, even mixture.

Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking constantly after each one so they're fully mixed in.

Step 4: Add the cocoa powder and mix until the batter is an even color. Then add the lemon or orange zest and gradually work in the sifted flour while you keep mixing.

Step 5: Add the baking powder and mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 6: Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease the cupcake pan with regular butter.

Step 7: Fill each cup with batter using a piping bag so they come out even.

Step 8: Put the pan in the preheated oven and bake the cupcakes for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until they're golden and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.

Step 9: While the cupcakes bake, melt the baking chocolate in a double boiler until it's smooth and runny.

Step 10: Once the cupcakes are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the pan. Then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11: When the cupcakes are completely cool, pour a little melted chocolate over the top of each one and let it set.

Step 12: Your weed cupcakes are ready to enjoy. Eat them carefully and responsibly: start with a small piece and wait to feel the effect before you have more.
