-
1 tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
½ cup unsalted butter (sub ¼ with cannabutter)
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tbsp lemon zest
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
½ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tang)
For the Frosting:
-
8 oz cream cheese
-
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

1 ½ cups powdered sugar

½ tsp dried culinary lavender, ground
-
Optional: 1 tbsp cannabis-infused honey or a tiny bit of infused coconut oil

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. Cream It:
Beat together your butter (plus cannabutter), sugar, and lemon zest until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
3. Mix Dry & Wet:
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla.
4. Bake:
Spoon batter into liners, filling each 2/3 full. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
5. Make the Frosting:
Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, ground lavender, and lemon juice. Mix until fluffy. Fold in cannabis-infused honey (optional for extra chill).
6. Frost & Chill (Literally):
Once cupcakes are cool, frost generously. Garnish with a pinch of lavender buds or lemon zest if you’re feeling fancy.
🔥 Dosing Tip:
When using cannabutter or infused honey, start low and go slow — especially if you’re sharing. A standard homemade dose is around 5-10mg THC per cupcake, but it depends on how strong your infusion is. Want to stay in the microdose zone? Use 1–2 teaspoons of cannabutter across the whole batch.
