A. Making the Shrewsbury Cake Dough:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. If desired, add 1-2 drops of CBD oil to the dough and mix until evenly incorporated. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD product.
7. Gather the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.

B. Incorporating CBD

1. After the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator.
2. If desired, add an additional 1-2 drops of CBD oil to the dough and gently knead it to ensure even distribution. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD product.

C. Shaping and Baking the Cakes

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
2. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes, such as rounds or any other shape of your choice.
3. Place the cut-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each cake.
4. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cakes with a pinch of Demerara sugar for added texture and sweetness.
5. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
6. Remove the cakes from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool

completely before proceeding.

D. Optional Glaze

1. Once the cakes have cooled, you can choose to add a glaze for extra sweetness and flavor.
2. In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk until you achieve a smooth and pourable consistency.
3. If desired, add a drop or two of CBD oil to the glaze and mix well.
4. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Shrewsbury cakes, allowing it to drip down the sides.
5. Let the glaze set before serving. IV.

Tips and Variations

• Citrus Zest: For a citrusy twist, add the zest of one lemon or orange to the dough. This will add a refreshing flavor to the Shrewsbury cakes.

• Spices: Enhance the flavor profile of the Shrewsbury cakes by incorporating a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, or mixed spice into the dough. These warm spices will add depth and complexity to the taste.
• Almond Extract: Substitute a teaspoon of vanilla extract with almond extract to give the cakes a delightful almond flavor.

• Sandwiched Shrewsbury Cakes: Make sandwich cookies by spreading a layer of jam or buttercream between two Shrewsbury cakes. This variation adds an extra layer of sweetness and texture.

• Storage: Store the cooled Shrewsbury cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If the weather is humid, you can store them in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness. Ensure they are completely cooled before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
