Recipe: Mr. Nice’s Cream Cheese Frosted Carrot Cake

Carrot cake has always been a favorite of mine since childhood and it’s one
cake you never quite feel guilty about eating. Surprisingly, carrot cake is
full of nutrition and is actually a great pick me up when you are in the
need of a little TLC. It is a versatile cake that you can make for any
occasion or social function that will be sure to be hit!

This cake was created out of love for carrot cake and for my wonderful
husband’s birthday celebration way back in the day. When he requested a
carrot cake, in my mind’s eye I could already see the perfect strain to
pair with one of my already created carrot cake recipes — Mr. Nice. Thus,
Mr. Nice’s Carrot Cake was born. The cake was a huge hit at the party and
has proven that strain specific baking really is where it’s at.

Mr. Nice possesses the flavor profiles of hash, spice and earth tones with
a slight tang. These flavors really dance with the carrot cake,
intermingling into a complex taste that will be sure to have you licking
your fork. This strain pairs perfectly with the various ingredients in both
the frosting and cake: Mr. Nice has never been so delicious! Enjoy for
dessert, as a mid day snack or whenever you crave it. This cake pairs
wonderfully with dark roast coffees, chai or a large glass of milk. Enjoy
with love, from my kitchen to yours!

*Mise en place:*

*Cake:*
*• 2 cups *AP flour
*• 2 cups *turbinado sugar
*• 2 cups *grated carrot
*• 1 cup *crushed walnuts
*• 3/4 cup *buttermilk
*• 3/4 cup *vegetable oil
*• 8 ounces *crushed pineapple
*• 4 ounces *coconut flakes
*• 3* eggs
*• 2 teaspoons *vanilla extract
*• 2 teaspoons *almond extract
*• 2 teaspoons *ground cinnamon
*• 2 teaspoons *pumpkin spice
*• 2 teaspoons *baking soda
*• 1/2 teaspoon *sea salt

*Frosting:*
*• 3 cups *sifted powdered sugar
*• 3/4 cup *Mr. Nice Cannabutter (with 6 grams infused into the butter)
*• 2 – 8 ounce* packages of cream cheese
*• 1 tablespoon *almond extract
*• 2 teaspoons *vanilla extract

*Directions:*

*Step 1:* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add all of the dry ingredients
into the bowl making sure there are no clumps. Now add the eggs, oil,
buttermilk, extracts and pineapple. Mix with a whisk or electric mixer
until well blended. Next add the grated carrots, coconut flakes and crushed
walnuts. Mix until fully incorporated.

*Step 2:* Lightly grease a 9″ bunt pan or cake pan of your choice. Pour the
batter into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes
out clean when inserted into the cake. When the cake is done, remove from
the oven and let it cool completely.

*Step 3:* While the cake is cooling, you can prepare the frosting. In a
bowl cream the cannabutter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and extracts. Add
the white food coloring to get the frosting to the color that you want.

*Step 4:* Slice the cake into two equal halves and ice the center of the
cake. Place the top of the cake back on and frost the outside of the cake.
Decorate the way you desire, making sure that each decoration is balanced
with each cake piece. This will ensure proper dosing for each slice of
cake. You will now have 12 slices infused with Mr. Nice. Enjoy!

*Dosage:*

If Mr Nice THC content tests around 22 percent, 22 percent of 1,000 mg
would be 220 mg. Sub the number of your THC percentage and do the math to
figure out your desired dosage per tablespoon for your method of making
cannabutter. If you want a smaller dose in this recipe, cut the cannabis
down to a smaller portion. If you want a larger dose, add the amount you
desire. There are 12 tablespoons in 3/4 cup and there are 12 servings of
this cake, so adjust accordingly.

*Strain Substitution:*

I would recommend any strain with terpenes that would compliment the hashy
earth flavor of Mr. Nice. Buddha’s Sister, G-13 (the sweeter tasting
phenotype) and Hashplant are all great choices. Be creative and have fun
with it!
