Ingredients

1 ¼ cups (4 3/4 ounces) bleached cake flour, plus more for pan
¼ cup (1 1/4 ounces) fine semolina flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing pan
¼ cup Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil
¼ cup whole milk
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons juice (from 1 regular or Meyer lemon), divided
2 tablespoons grated navel or Cara Cara orange zest (from 2 oranges), divided
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup (3 1/2 ounces) powdered sugar
2 – 3 Meyer lemons, Cara Cara oranges, and/or navel oranges, peeled and sliced, for garnish

Directions

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. Next, take a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Then lightly grease and flour the pan so nothing sticks. Set this prepared pan aside for later use. In a medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, semolina flour, baking powder and salt until they’re combined; set aside as well.
In a stand mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, combine sugar, extra-virgin olive oil, Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil, milk, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon orange zest and vanilla bean paste. Beat on medium until well combined for approximately 2 minutes. With the mixer still on medium speed; add eggs one at a time while continuing to beat after each addition. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture while beating only enough to just combined; this will take about 30 seconds using a rubber spatula scrape any areas where there may be some citrus zest trapped in the batter so that you can fold it into the final product evenly..
After you’ve mixed the batter together, pour it into the pan you prepared earlier. Bake the cake until it’s risen in the middle and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs when inserted into the center, which should take 32 to 38 minutes. Let the cake cool in its pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before running a knife along its edge and inverting it onto plate. Finally, flip cake so that is top-side up again on the wire rack to cool completely; this will likely take 1 1/2 hours.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon orange zest. Set wire rack with cake over a parchment-lined sheet pan. Pour glaze over cake and gently spread to the edges using a small offset spatula, allowing some of the glaze to drip down the sides of the cake. Let stand until glaze hardens – this should take at least 30 minutes but can be up to 4 hours maximum. Transfer cake to a serving plate. Garnish with citrus just before serving for an extra pop of flavor!

Note

Based on the 20% THC strain of cannabis and Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil, each serving contains 11 to 14 mg THC.
