I don’t smoke it anymore, I just bake a (hard) cake once a month and nibble on it til it’s gone. It’s good to be able to breath again after fifteen years of daily smoking.
Do you have a recipe or a name I can search? "Hard cake" does not bring up anything interesting. I like edibles but am not a frequent user and would like something I can store.
I'm afraid I don't really have a recipe at hand, I just make a basic cake batter off the top of my head. Something like maybe 125g flour, 100ml oat-milk, 1 egg, 100g sugar, 100g (hash-)butter, a few pinches of baking powder, a little salt. Mix it all together and bake it at 150°C until it's very, very dry. So it becomes "hard" cake. I've tried using less liquids in the batter but I've found it easier to just let the cake bake longer until it has the preferred dryness. This has the added benefit of decarboxylating the good stuff further.
Don't forget to decarboxylate your hash/weed before you use it so you maximize it's potential.
I can't speak to how long this will ultimately be edible but the last one was very dry and lasted about a month. I kept it in the fridge for most of the time but I don't know if that's really that useful. You could always just make a regular cake or any recipe you find online and freeze the result in the end. Just make sure to decarb your herbs and mix it well with the butter.
In this cake I'd typically use about 20g hash - but I'm experienced, you might want to use much, much less.
Thanks a lot! So after baking it should be kind of like biscuits/crackers?
Yeah, kind of. Don't expect it to taste well. But, and I cannot stress this enough, if you don't go too high on the temperatures so the good stuff evaporates you can do any recipe you like. I just found out that I don't really enjoy the taste of hashcake (with weed it's a little more tolerable for me) so I've tried to make the most potent little brick so that I don't have to eat much to get flying.
It surely tastes better than anxiety. I know any recipe works, I've done brownies, but the idea of a cake that you can keep for a month is revolutionary to me. I've tried making cannabis honey as something that's easy to consume and has long shelf life, but it had no potency.
That's true, anxiety is worse. :-D
Honey is very interesting, I did not know that was possible. You can make your own oil with somehow dissolving the weed in alcohol and that's easily shelfable - but I haven't tried that yet myself.
Honey is pretty simple, but as I said, it didn't work for me. But maybe I did something wrong: https://wayofleaf.com/cannabis-and-cbd/cannabis-honey-benefits And at that temperature, the honey loses all its nutritional values, so getting anything but the cheapest supermarket stuff would be a waste.
