Part 1: The Foundation – Making Cannabis Butter

You cannot make the cupcakes without the key ingredient. Cannabis butter (often called “cannabutter”) is made by infusing butter with decarboxylated cannabis.

What You Need:

• 1 cup (225g) of unsalted butter
• 7-10 grams of decarboxylated cannabis flower (this step activates the THC)
• 1 cup of water
• Saucepan, cheesecloth, glass container

Basic Process:

1. Decarboxylate: Grind your cannabis. Spread it on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake at 115°C (240°F) for 30-40 minutes. This activates the THC.
2. Infuse: In a saucepan, combine the butter, water, and decarboxylated cannabis. Simmer on very low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.
3. Strain: Let the mixture cool slightly. Pour it through a cheesecloth into a glass container. Squeeze the cloth to get all the butter out.
4. Set: Refrigerate the container. The butter will harden on top, separated from the water below. Remove the solid butter disc. Your cannabutter is ready.

Potency Note: The strength depends on your starting material. Dosage is extremely important. A standard dose might be 5-10mg of THC per serving. Calculate based on your butter’s assumed potency.

Part 2: The Recipe – Classic Cannabis Butter Cupcakes

This recipe substitutes regular butter in a classic cupcake batter with your prepared cannabis butter.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (113g) cannabis butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• Your favorite frosting (optional, but note it adds extra sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the cannabis butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners (fill about 2/3 full). Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool & Frost: Let cupcakes cool completely in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Frost only once completely cool.

Critical Safety & Consumption Tips

• Start Low, Go Slow: If you are new to edibles, start with a very small piece (e.g., 1/4 of a cupcake). The effects can take 90 minutes to 3 hours to fully manifest and last several hours. Never consume more because you “don’t feel it yet.”
• Label Clearly: Store cannabis cupcakes in a sealed container clearly marked and out of reach of children or unsuspecting adults.
• Environment: Consume in a safe, familiar place with trusted company.
• Know Your Source: The quality and potency of homemade cannabis butter are unpredictable without lab testing.
