Time 1m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1 teaspoon vinegar and enough milk to make 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla
butter and breadcrumbs to prepare pan
1 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening (not something I normally use in cooking, but it helps with the "buttercream" texture)
6 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 - 5 tablespoons milk & more for glaze
jelly beans for eyes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325
  • Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time
  • Combine dry ingredients and add to batter alternating with buttermilk and vanilla
  • Prepare pans by spreading lightly with butter and dusting with dried breadcrumbs
  • Pour batter into the bottom of your two cake pans, assemble according to direction on your lamb cake mold
  • Bake for approximately one hour
  • Cool the cake for 10 minutes, remove from pan
  • Cool to room temp and refrigerate
  • Mix butter, shortening, powdered sugar, vanilla, and just 3 tablespoons of milk, gradually adding more milk until the consistency is similar to light and fluffy mashed potatoes, it should be stiff enough to hold its shape when you pipe it, but soft enough to pipe easily
  • Place about 1/2 cup in a small deep bowl and blend in enough milk to make a thick glaze, the texture should be thicker than heavy cream, kind of like a thin pancake batter
  • Dip the lambs face into the glaze, covering the face and front side of the ears, and allow the glaze to drip off (I occasionally gave it a wipe to help the process)
  • Add a small amount of frosting to the center of your serving platter, place the lamb on top, this will kind of glue it to the plate, I do this with all cakes, but it's especially helpful with this top-heavy cake
  • Add a star tip to a piping bag and pipe swirls of frosting onto the lamb's body
  • If desired, use food coloring to tint a small amount of the frosting, literally a tablespoon or two, a light pink or peach color, use this to pipe the inside of the ears and nose
  • Add jelly beans for eyes, I used a plastic straw and pushed it into the cake where I wanted the eyes to be, it gave me an opening to push the jelly beans into
  • Refrigerate until you're ready to put it on the table

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ¼ cups cake flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups white sugar
½ cup butter
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large egg whites egg whites

Steps:

  • First, prepare your mold. Coat with vegetable oil, let sit for a few minutes then wipe clean with a paper towel. Then grease and flour your mold, making sure to get all the little areas.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sift the cake flour, then sift again with the baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Stir the batter until smooth after each addition. Add the vanilla.
  • In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then quickly fold in the remaining whites.
  • Fill the face side of the mold with batter. Move a wooden spoon through the batter GENTLY, to remove any air pockets. Make sure not to disturb the greased and floured surface of the mold. Put the lid on the mold, making sure it locks or ties together securely so that the steam and rising batter do not force the two sections apart.
  • Put the mold on a cookie sheet in a preheated oven for about 1 hour. Test for doneness by inserting a skewer or wooden toothpick through a steam vent. Put the cake, still in the mold, on a rack for about 15 minutes. CAREFULLY, remove the top of the mold. Before you separate the cake from the bottom let it cool for about 5 more minutes so that all the steam can escape and the cake can firm up some more. After removing the rest of the mold, let the cake cool on the rack completely. DO NOT sit the cake upright until completely cooled. Frost with Seven Minute Icing or any other white icing of your choice and decorate to look like a lamb.

EASTER LAMB CAKE



Easter Lamb Cake image

My grandmother started the tradition of making this molded Easter lamb cake when I was little. We continue to make it every Easter. The memory is so special that I keep the lamb mold in my kitchen next to my cookbooks as a decoration. Make sure to grease and flour the mold really well so that the cake does not stick. - Debra Waggoner, Grand Island, Nebraska
