Truffle Cake
Also known as: White Truffle Cake
Breeder: In House Genetics
Truffle Cake is a dessert-gas hybrid bred by In House Genetics that pairs the savory, resin-heavy White Truffle cut of Gorilla Butter F2 with the sweet dough-forward Pancakes. Prized for exceptional trichome coverage, complex earthy-sweet terps, and strong hash-making potential with reported 5.3% fresh-frozen rosin returns. A compact, production-friendly plant that finishes in 8-10 weeks.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: White Truffle x Pancakes
White Truffle (Gorilla Butter F2 pheno selected by BeLeaf Cannabis; GG4 x Peanut Butter Breath) contributes explosive resin production, savory mushroom-earth funk, and indica-dominant structure. Pancakes (London Pound Cake #75 x Kush Mints #11, bred by In House Genetics) adds sweet vanilla-dough terps, dessert-forward flavor, and additional flower density.
Lineage Dispute
Some sources list the mother as 'Gorilla Butter F2 (White Truffle Cut)'; White Truffle is a Gorilla Butter F2 phenotype selected by BeLeaf Cannabis from Fresh Coast Seed Co. stock — same plant, different naming conventions.
Terpene Profile
Caryophyllene — Leads the profile at 0.4-1.0%; delivers peppery spice and grounding body warmth with anti-inflammatory potential
Limonene — Second at 0.3-0.7%; adds citrus brightness and mood lift that cuts through the heavy earthy base
Humulene — 0.2-0.5%; earthy, woody hop notes that complement the savory truffle character
Myrcene — 0.2-0.6%; provides herbal, musky depth and contributes to the relaxing body effect
Linalool — 0.1-0.3%; soft floral accent that rounds out the dessert sweetness in some cuts
Aroma: Funky earthy mushroom-truffle base layered with sweet pancake-batter dough, sharp fuel, and chocolate-spice undertones that develop through the cure
Flavor: Inhale brings buttery chestnut and sweet cake batter; exhale reveals peppery gas, earthy diesel, and a lingering nutty-chocolate aftertaste with faint sour raspberry
Effects & Experience
Onset: Immediate cerebral head rush with strong euphoria within minutes
Uplifting mood boost and creative focus that transitions into deep physical relaxation, muscle tension release, and couch-lock at higher doses
Duration: 2-3 hours; cumulative indica body effect builds over the session
Commonly Reported Uses
Growing Characteristics
Grow Tips: Responds well to SCROG, topping, and light defoliation for airflow. High calyx-to-leaf ratio simplifies trimming. Excellent hash-production candidate with dense trichome coverage. Dropping night temps 3-5°C in late flower can intensify purple marbling.
History & Origin
In House Genetics created Truffle Cake by crossing the White Truffle cut — a legendary Gorilla Butter F2 phenotype originally bred by Fresh Coast Seed Co. and pheno-hunted by BeLeaf Cannabis in Oklahoma — with Pancakes, an In House Genetics cross of London Pound Cake #75 and Kush Mints #11. Released as a Gold Pack, it quickly gained collector status for channeling White Truffle's savory resin production into seed form with added dessert sweetness.
