CBD is a popular ingredient that is said to have many health benefits, including reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and reducing pain and inflammation. In this article, we’ll share how to make a healthy and delicious CBD carrot cake that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients For The Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
For The Frosting
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons CBD oil
Instructions To Make The Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts (if using).
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Making The Frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and CBD oil.
- If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it’s too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream.
Assembling The Cake
- Place one of the cooled cakes on a serving plate.
- Spread a thick layer of frosting on top of the cake.
- Place the second cake on top of the frosting.
- Spread a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake to create a “crumb coat.” This will help prevent crumbs from mixing into the final layer of frosting.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the crumb coat to set.
- Once the crumb coat has set, spread a thick layer of frosting over the entire cake.
- Decorate the cake with additional frosting and chopped nuts or sprinkles, if desired.
- Serve and enjoy!
