Grow facts come from the breeder first, then seed banks and strain databases. With 2 sources we show the range and the middle; with 3 or more, the range and the median, after leaving out values far from the rest. The breeder's own value is the anchor, unless it is far from every other source (outside their range and more than 20% from their median); then we show the full range and the median of all of them. A fact from a single source is marked "1 source", and a fact no source lists is left out. Yields are converted to one unit: indoor per square meter, outdoor per plant.
CTU writes every profile from these facts; we do not copy other sites' descriptions. Values that are a generic default in the source data are left out. Last checked Oct 21, 2026.

About DNA Cake
In public strain data, DNA Cake is classed as a hybrid attributed to DNA Genetics. Its listed parents are Gelato 33 and Wedding Cake.
How strong is DNA Cake?
Public listings give DNA Cake a THC level of 20–24%, which is in the middle third of our dataset. Compared with all strains in our research dataset that have their own THC figure, it is higher than roughly 61% of them. Potency varies by grower, batch and lab, so read these numbers as typical values, not guarantees.
DNA Cake aroma, flavor and terpenes
People most often describe the flavor of DNA Cake as vanilla and diesel. Its top listed terpenes are caryophyllene (peppery, spicy), limonene (citrus) and humulene (woody, hoppy). Caryophyllene is the lead terpene for about 24% of the high-confidence strains in our dataset, so it is a less common lead. Terpenes shape smell and taste; their levels change from batch to batch.
Reported effects of DNA Cake
People who have tried DNA Cake most often report feeling euphoric, happy, uplifted, creative and relaxed. These are user reports, not promises. Effects differ from person to person and depend on dose, setting and tolerance.
