Cherry Cake
Also known as: OG Cherry Cake, Cherry Cake OG
Cherry Cake Strain Overview
Cherry Cake is a highly regarded hybrid cannabis strain that exhibits characteristics of both sativa and indica genetics, though sources vary on the exact ratio. Most commonly described as an 80% sativa-dominant hybrid with 20% indica genetics, this strain has gained significant popularity in the California Bay Area and beyond. The most widely accepted genetic lineage traces back to a cross between NorCal Goo and Cherry Thunder Fuck, though some sources cite variations including Cherry AK crossed with Cookie F2. Originally bred by Purple Caper Seeds, Cherry Cake was developed before many of the popular "cake" strains that followed, establishing itself as an early pioneer in this flavor profile category.
The strain is characterized by oversized, heavy, rounded forest green buds with long thin dark amber hairs and a coating of milky white crystal trichomes. The plants typically finish flowering in approximately 63 days (8-9 weeks) and can reach heights of 80 inches outdoors while maintaining more modest proportions indoors. Cherry Cake is known for its exceptional resin production, making it highly valued for concentrate extraction. The strain's aromatic profile combines sweet fruity cherry notes with hints of cake, cookies, and subtle spicy pungency, complemented by nutty cookie overtones with earthy undertones.
