Purple Cake Batter strain guide
Purple Cake Batter is an indica-leaning hybrid of Purple OG Kush and Cake Batter, credited to Mad Scientist Genetics. People know it for a sweet vanilla and berry smell with a nutty, skunky edge, and a feel that starts uplifted and settles into calm. Buds often show deep purple tones.
Where does Purple Cake Batter come from?
Two strain databases agree on the parents: Purple OG Kush and Cake Batter. One strain database credits the cross to Mad Scientist Genetics. Another database puts it at about 70% indica, and both describe it as an indica-dominant hybrid.
Cake Batter is usually described as a phenotype of Wedding Cake, which puts Purple Cake Batter in the OG Kush and Cookies family on one side, with a purple OG line on the other. One strain database also lists Purple Cake as another name for it, though other strains use that name too. When and where it was first released is not well documented.
What does Purple Cake Batter smell and taste like?
The smell mixes sweet and funky: vanilla and berries on top, with a spicy, nutty side and a skunky note underneath. Some reviewers also pick up stone fruit like apricot, or a sour green apple or white grape edge, and a few describe a cheesy funk.
One strain database's terpene data puts limonene first, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. Limonene brings brightness, caryophyllene a peppery spice and myrcene an earthy base. The flavour is usually sweet berry and vanilla, with nuttiness and a hint of skunk on the finish.
Purple Cake Batter effects: what people report
People most often describe Purple Cake Batter as uplifted and happy at first, with a clear head and some creativity, before a relaxed body feel takes over. One strain database's reviewers also mention feeling energetic or giggly, while others say it left them sleepy, so where it lands seems to depend on the person and the amount.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint, and some people mention feeling anxious.
How strong is Purple Cake Batter?
Purple Cake Batter is a high-THC strain. One strain database lists it at about 24% THC and another database gives a range of roughly 23% to 25%, with very little CBD. That database also shows a small amount of CBG. One user review mentions a much higher figure, but that's a single report, not a typical result.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The numbers on your product's label matter more than the strain name.
Buying Purple Cake Batter in Canada
Since several cake strains share similar names, check the label for the Purple OG Kush and Cake Batter cross, or the breeder. Purple Cake, Cake Batter and Purple Cake Batter can be different plants depending on the producer.
You might find it as dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date on the label, since fresher flower keeps more of its sweet vanilla smell.
