Jaffa Cake
Also known as: Orange Cookies Chem, Jaffa Cake Kush
Jaffa Cake Strain Overview
Jaffa Cake is a dessert-leaning hybrid cannabis strain celebrated for its vivid orange-cocoa bouquet and balanced, anytime-friendly effects. Named after the classic British confection, this strain mirrors the interplay of citrus, sweet bakery notes, and subtle dark chocolate undertones found in the famous Jaffa Cake biscuit. The strain was bred by Cali Kush Farms through careful crossbreeding of Animal Cookies, Hashplant, and Mandarina genetics, though some sources also reference Orange Cookies and Chem lineage variations. Jaffa Cake presents as a beautiful, colorful plant that becomes fully covered in abundant snowy resin during flowering, with medium-dense buds featuring a calyx-on-calyx stacking pattern that produces broad, conical flowers. The coloration typically leans forest to lime green with flashes of deep violet or magenta in cooler temperatures, complemented by fiery orange pistils that contrast vividly against the frosty backdrop. This strain has gained popularity across recreational and medical markets for its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and body relaxation without heavy sedation, making it suitable for various times of day with dose-dependent versatility.
