• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops (optional, for CBD infusion)
• Optional: Zest of one lemon or orange for added flavor

• II. Equipment

Before starting the recipe, ensure you have the following equipment:

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk or electric mixer
• Measuring cups and spoons
• 9-inch loaf pan
• Parchment paper or cooking spray
• Cooling rack

III. Step-by-Step Instructions

A. Preparing the CBD-Infused Butter

1. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until completely melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. If desired, add 1-2 drops of full spectrum CBD oil to the melted butter. Stir well to incorporate the CBD oil into the butter. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD product.

B. Mixing the Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or coat it with cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done with a whisk or an electric mixer.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract and the CBD-infused butter. Mix until well combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in a dense cake.
7. If desired, add the zest of one lemon or orange to the batter and gently fold it in for added flavor.

C. Baking the Tea Cake

1. Pour the prepared batter into the lined loaf pan and spread it evenly.
2. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Check the cake after 40 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
4. Once baked, remove the tea cake from the oven and let it cool

D. Adding the CBD Infusion

1. Once the tea cake has cooled, you can choose to infuse it with CBD for an added wellness boost. Start by determining the desired dosage of CBD oil based on the instructions provided with your CBD product and your personal preferences.

• Using a toothpick or the dropper provided with your CBD oil, carefully add the desired number of CBD oil drops to the top of the tea cake. Aim to distribute the drops evenly across the surface.
• Gently press the CBD oil drops into the surface of the cake using the back of a spoon or a butter knife, ensuring that they are evenly absorbed.
• Allow the CBD-infused tea cake to rest for a few minutes to allow the CBD oil to penetrate the cake.

IV. Tips and Variations

• CBD Dosage: It’s important to follow the dosage instructions provided with your CBD product and consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and desired effects.
• Flavor Variations: You can experiment with different flavor variations by adding ingredients such as lemon zest, orange zest, almond extract, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Feel free to get creative and customize the flavor to your liking.
• Toppings: For an added touch, you can dust the cooled tea cake with powdered sugar, drizzle it with a glaze, or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a side of fresh berries.

V. Serving and Storage

1. Once the CBD-infused tea cake has cooled and absorbed the CBD oil, it is ready to be served. Slice the cake into desired portions using a sharp knife.
2. Serve the tea cake alongside a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
3. Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate it to prolong its freshness.

 VI. Conclusion

By infusing your tea cake with CBD, you can elevate the traditional treat and potentially experience the therapeutic benefits of CBD while enjoying its delightful flavors.
