Lava Cake strain

Description

Lava Cake is a rich, dessert-style indica-dominant hybrid (roughly 70% indica / 30% sativa) known for its heavy, relaxing effects and decadent chocolate-cake flavor profile. Bred by Seed Junky Genetics, this strain crosses the creamy sweetness of Wedding Cake with the potent, gassy depth of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies (GSC).

It delivers a smooth, euphoric head high that quickly melts into deep physical relaxation and couch-lock, making it a favorite for evening wind-down, pain relief, and stress reduction. The buds are dense, sticky, and heavily frosted, often showing dark green to purple hues with vibrant orange pistils.
