Are you a fan of vanilla cupcakes but want to add a little something extra to your dessert? Look no further than cannabis infused vanilla cupcakes! Not only do they taste great, but they also provide a fun and enjoyable way to consume cannabis. They can be eaten as they are or topped with frostings, cream, and whatever else you’d like to put on top of them.
I will be using a lemon haze cannabutter to make this recipe – the limonene terpenes perfectly compliment the sweet vanilla flavour of the cupcakes. I would personally recommend picking a strain with fruity terpenes to use in this recipe but feel free to use any strain you want. Not sure what terpenes your strain has? Take a look at Leafly’s strain library to find out all the information for each strain including their terpene profiles.

Cannabis Infused Vanilla Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted cannabutter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F (180C) and line a muffin baking tray with 12 cupcake liners.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cannabutter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer or slightly longer without.
- Add the eggs to the cannabutter mixture one at a time. Mix well after each egg is added. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the cannabutter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk in two parts, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can eat them as they are or frost or decorate them as desired. Enjoy your weed infused vanilla cupcakes!
