Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons of cannabis tincture (depending on desired potency)
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Going Step by Step

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another mixing bowl, beat the sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs together until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the sugar mixture, alternating with the buttermilk.
  5. Add the white vinegar, vanilla extract, and cannabis tincture to the mixture and mix until well combined.
  6. Add the red food coloring and cocoa powder to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  7. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each liner two-thirds full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
  10. Give it a try and enjoy!

Tips

  • When measuring flour, spoon it into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Avoid packing the flour into the cup, as this can result in a denser cupcake.
  • For an extra chocolatey flavor, add some chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
  • Don’t overfill the cupcake liners, as this can cause the cupcakes to overflow and lose their shape.
  • To make the frosting, mix together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  • Add a tablespoon of cannabis tincture for an extra kick.

We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Cannabis Red Velvet Cupcake you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so it is strongly recommended to start with one portion of a serving. After one or two hours, listen to your body and decide whether to consume more. It is not recommended to drive or operate any machinery when taking edibles. Use responsibly!
