Purple Cake
Purple Cake
Also known as: Purple Cake Batter, Purple Batter
Overview
Purple Cake is a dessert-leaning cannabis cultivar prized for its deep violet hues, thick frosting of trichomes, and a layered flavor that evokes grape jelly, vanilla icing, and warm bakery notes. This indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) is created by crossing Purple OG Kush with Cake Batter, though alternate lineages include Grape Pie x Wedding Cake F3 from Seed Junky Genetics. Purple Cake traces its roots to the surge of Cake-branded genetics that swept North American markets from roughly 2018 onward, when Wedding Cake progeny, Gelato descendants, and Purple family lines increasingly cross-pollinated, yielding new dessert-forward hybrids with dense trichome coverage and confectionary terpenes. According to growers, this strain features frosted and wispy foliage with dark purple nested between heavy layers of trichomes, making it highly sought after for its striking bag appeal and premium flower characteristics.

Growing Information
Purple Cake can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days (8-9 weeks). The strain shows an indica/sativa ratio of 85% indica/15% sativa with medium to bushy yield and medium to tall height. This is a very resilient strain that can grow 5-6 feet tall and very bushy, producing yields ranging from 6-22 ounces per plant with proper training techniques like LST and topping. Purple Cake performs well in outdoor environments, particularly in warm, sunny climates, with harvest expected around the end of September and yields up to 500 grams per plant. Indoor growers can achieve yields of up to 450 grams per square meter. The strain requires moderate cultivation difficulty and benefits from proper plant support due to dense, heavy buds.
