The Best Easy-to-Make Space Food Recipes at Home

Space food refers to the fun concept behind "space cakes"ā€”infamous baked goods often associated with chill moments. Of course, weā€™re not talking about illegal THC, but rather the culinary world where you can create legal and tasty recipes using ingredients likeĀ CBD and other legal products.

1. Traditional Space Cake: The Basic Recipe

The space cake, or cannabis-infused cake, is one of the most popular recipes in cannabis culture. The idea is to infuse butter or oil with cannabis (or its derivatives like CBD) to create a delicious cake that provides relaxing effects. If youā€™re looking to make one at home, hereā€™s the basic recipe, using Marrakech butter (or cannabis butter, or CBD butter):

Ingredients:

  • 250 g of Marrakech butter (cannabis butter or CBD butter)

  • 150 g of sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 200 g of flour

  • 1 packet of baking powder

  • A pinch of salt

  • 100 g of chocolate (optional, but delicious)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the batter: Mix the Marrakech butter with sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and continue to beat.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Incorporate this dry mix into your batter.

  3. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake at 180Ā°C (350Ā°F) for 20-30 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick. Once ready, let it cool before serving.

Note: For the preparation of Marrakech butter, please refer to the section below for the detailed method of infusing butter or oil.

2. Adapting with CBD Flowers for a Legal Experience

If you want to stay within the legal limits, you can replace cannabis with CBD flowers. CBD doesnā€™t create a psychoactive effect, but it offers relaxing and calming effects. By using CBD butter or CBD oil, you can create a completely legal and delicious space cake.

Simply follow the same recipe as above, but substitute cannabis with CBD. This way, you can enjoy the space food experience without the psychoactive effects of THC, while still benefiting from the calming properties of CBD.

3. DIY: Infusing Oil or Butter with CBD

If you want to make your own ingredients at home, such as CBD butter or oil, hereā€™s a quick guide:

Ingredients:

  • 20 g of CBD flowers (or more depending on the desired potency)

  • 100 g of butter or 100 ml of coconut oil or olive oil

  • Water

Instructions:

  1. Decarboxylate: First, you need to decarboxylate your CBD flowers. This means heating them in the oven (around 250Ā°F / 120Ā°C) for 30 to 40 minutes to activate the cannabinoids.

  2. Infuse: Gently melt the butter or oil in a pan on low heat. Add the decarboxylated flowers and let them infuse for about 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

  3. Strain: Once the infusion is done, strain the flowers using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Youā€™ll end up with infused butter or oil that you can use in your space food recipes.

4. Other Space Food Recipes to Try with CBD

Once your CBD butter or oil is ready, you can use it in a variety of other recipes:

  • Space Cookies: The classic chocolate chip cookie, but infused with CBD butter.

  • CBD Brownies: Add your CBD butter into the brownie batter for a laid-back version of a favorite treat.

  • Space Tea: Use CBD oil to infuse your tea and enjoy its calming effects during your relaxed moments.

Conclusion

The concept of space food doesnā€™t have to be associated with THC. You can create fun and relaxing recipes like space cake using completely legal products such as CBD. Whether youā€™re a beginner or experienced, these DIY recipes are a perfect way to enjoy some chill time while staying within the legal limits.
