also known as Pound Cake, London Poundcake, London Pound Cake #75, LPC
London Pound Cake is an indica-dominant strain from Cookies, bred from Sunset Sherbet and an undisclosed parent, also known as selection #75.
London Pound Cake gained wider recognition around 2018, according to a US terpene manufacturer's dating. The indica-dominant hybrid was bred by the Californian brand Cookies, which also operates as a breeder under the name Cookie Fam Genetics. Of the two parents, only Sunset Sherbet has been disclosed; the breeder withholds the second.
Several claims circulate about the undisclosed half. A number of descriptions refer only to an unknown, strong indica. The Cookies offshoot in Massachusetts names Nip OG as the second parent, while a product review and another strain description instead cite Nepali OG. Barney's Farm, which sells its own version, lists an indica phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies; as the Sherbet parent, the breeder's US page states Sunset Sherbet, while the European page states Rainbow Sherbet. One strain description puts the indica share at around 70 %.
The London Pound Cake #75 selection is widely available; according to a clone vendor, it was chosen for its appearance, aroma and flavor. Other breeders have also worked with it: Lit Farms crossed it with Red Velvet to create London Loud Cake, and Cannarado Genetics crossed it with its own Zawtz. Cookies itself used London Pound Cake for Candy Rain (with Gelato), Cake Mix (with Wedding Cake) and Blueberry Bubble Gum (with Runtz), and paired it again with Sunset Sherbert for Corn Syrup.
Strain descriptions cite berries and grape with lemon, with nuts and vanilla in the background; others add diesel and spice. Cookies co-founder Berner compared the scent to blueberry and cherry pie. The Cookies offshoot in Massachusetts describes the #75 as having gas, blueberry and lemongrass with a cool, menthol-like opening. Of 2 product reviews, one highlights a creamy vanilla and a nutty diesel finish, while the other notes skunk, spice and chocolate mint.
The dominant terpenes are listed as caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene. The terpene manufacturer mentioned earlier found the same 3 terpenes at the top when analyzing flower samples, along with sweet-smelling esters such as isopropyl butyrate and isobutyl hexanoate; it did not publish percentage values.
User reports describe an onset of elevated mood and focus, with some describing themselves as giggly or sociable, accompanied by a tingling sensation in the body. Physical relaxation dominates later on. How strongly it sedates is experienced differently: some reports mention drowsiness and pronounced couch-lock, while others describe a contented calm without heavy fatigue. Reported side effects include dry mouth, dry eyes, dizziness and headache; one report described the tingling as unpleasant.
Strain descriptions cite 20 to 29 % THC and note that the value depends on location and growing method.
For clones of the #75 selection, one vendor states a flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks. Descriptions mention dense buds with orange pistils and abundant trichomes, which can turn purple at cool temperatures. Accounts of growth habit diverge. Barney's Farm describes its own version as compact and bushy with dense side branches, while one strain description refers to tall plants with long side branches that need regular thinning and cope poorly with high humidity.
A grow report from the northeastern United States documents an outdoor plant that had been topped 5 times during the vegetative phase. After the onset of flowering it stretched noticeably and carried 32 unevenly sized flowering branches under a SCROG net.

The effects begin with elevated mood and focus, sometimes giggly or sociable and with a physical tingling sensation, moving into physical relaxation. Aroma is mostly described as sweet, berry-like and cake-like with citrus and vanilla notes.
There is disagreement about the strength of the sedation: some reports describe drowsiness and pronounced couch-lock, others a contented calm without heavy sedation. One report found the tingling unpleasant.
