For the Frosting:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup cannabis-infused butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and cannabis-infused butter until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in Carrots, Pineapple, and Nuts: Fold in the grated carrots, drained pineapple, and chopped walnuts or pecans.
7. Pour Batter into Pans: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
8. Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool Cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Frosting: While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and cannabis-infused butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
11. Frost the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake with the cream cheese frosting. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
12. Serve: Slice and serve your cannabis-infused carrot cake, and enjoy responsibly!
