Sweet: Very Vanilla CBD Frosted Mug Cake
We’re taking the mug cake trend to the next level. It’s everything you love about mug cakes — it’s fast, moist, and sweet — with a CBD frosting twist.
This mug cake recipe was adapted from the Vanilla Mug Cake recipe from the blog Tastes Better From Scratch.(1) It has a classic vanilla flavor that’s enhanced with the addition of buttercream frosting infused with vanilla CBD oil.
Want a vegan mug cake? We’ve added vegan swap ops to the ingredients, so you can make this 100% plant-based if you choose.
This recipe makes one frosted mug cake.
Cake Ingredients
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp milk or non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted melted butter or coconut oil
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Frosting Ingredients
Directions
- Start by making the cake batter: Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a mug. Whisk to combine. Then add the liquid cake ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Microwave for 70 seconds. Check to make sure the cake is done by gently pressing the top of it. It should spring back quickly. If it doesn’t, microwave for another 20 seconds.
- While your mug cake cools, prepare the frosting. Beat the butter with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer for 30 seconds.
- Add the powdered sugar, one teaspoon of milk, CBD oil, and salt. Beat until smooth. If your frosting is too stiff, add more milk one teaspoon at a time until you achieve a light, buttercream consistency.
- Dollop or spread the frosting on top of your mug cake.
- Dig in!

Sweet: Vegan No-Bake Blueberry CBD Cheesecake
Is any dessert list complete without cheesecake? We think not!
Bursting with blueberry flavor from fresh blueberries and blueberry CBD oil, this vegan cheesecake is a must for any blueberry lover. Violet Beauregard would be all about it, we’re sure.
We were heavily inspired by The Conscious Plant Kitchen’s No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake, which has rave reviews.(2)
You might be thinking: “How can a cheesecake be vegan?” Pure vegan culinary magic! But really, the secret is the soaked cashews, which provide a super-creamy consistency without the dairy.
Our recipe yields one lucious cheesecake that serves 8-16 people, depending on the size of the slices. One large slice (out of a cake cut into eight slices) contains one serving of CBD oil.
Crust Ingredients
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup roasted almonds
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling Ingredients
Directions
- Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment or wax paper.
- Add the crust ingredients to a food processor and process for one minute. Scrape the bowl, then process for another 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture resembles coarse sand. It should hold together when you pinch it with your fingers.
- Using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, press the crust mixture into the bottom of the lined cake pan.
- Pop the crust in the freezer while you assemble the filling.
- Add all of the filling ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Remove the crust from the freezer. Pour the cheesecake filling on top of it. Gently shake the pan back and forth to evenly distribute the filling, then gently lift and drop the pan slightly to release any air bubbles.
- Freeze the cheesecake for 30 minutes.
- Enjoy immediately, or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight (you guess it: CBD-labeled) container for up to four days. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days, too.
Savory: Teriyaki Burgers With CBD-Infused Glaze
Sometimes you just want to sink your teeth into a juicy burger. This teriyaki burger recipe is here to satisfy that hankering!
The mouthwatering CBD teriyaki glaze is sweet, savory, and incredibly crave-worthy. You just might come up with some other uses for it once you give it a try. Kebabs and meatballs come to mind….
Make this burger meatless with a couple of plant-based swaps.
This recipe makes two burgers. One burger contains one serving of CBD oil.
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp your favorite teriyaki marinade
- 2 droppersful Pure Craft Nano CBD Broad Spectrum Oil - Tropical
- ½ pound ground beef, turkey, or plant-based ground meat alternative
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 slices of canned pineapple rings, drained
- 2 hamburger buns
- Mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise
- Green leaf lettuce
- Sliced red onion
Directions
- Mix together four tbsp of teriyaki marinade with CBD oil. Set aside.
- Combine your ground meat or meat alternative with the garlic powder and the remaining teriyaki marinade. Form into two patties.
- Preheat a grill to medium heat, or place a large skillet over medium heat. If you go the skillet route, this is a great time to make sure your hood vent is on and/or crack a window!
- Once the cooking surface is hot, sear the burgers on each side for about four minutes.
- Once cooked through, remove from the heat. Using a silicone brush or spoon, coat the patties in the CBD-infused teriyaki marinade you made in Step One.
- While the burger patties rest, sear the pineapple rings for a minute or so on each side.
- Now you’re ready to assemble your burgers. We recommend the following architecture: Apply the mayo on the top and bottom bun. Place the burger patty on the bottom bun, followed by the pineapple ring. Then add your lettuce and red onion, followed by the top bun.
