Easter Lamb cake
Memories of Easter traditions reminded me of the star of the show, a Easter Lamb cake. Every Easter my aunt baked this cake in her antique cake mold pans. She used tons of real butter in her secret recipe, more like a butter pound cake. And her icing was rich and decadent, I think it was a cream cheese icing or possibly a buttercream icing.
Would love to bake one this year but finding the lamb cake pans may not be easy. My aunt's cake pans were heavy cast-iron molds as opposed to the lighter weight pans. Since I don't have her secret recipe I Googled to find one I can use.
Guess what I found as a "recipe", they suggest to get a pound cake mix, wow, how easy it that? Okay guess I am out of excuses now and will have to try to make one and continue the tradition!
What a sweet little cake!

I have one of those heavy lamb cake pans. My mother used to make it every year and it had a coconut covering. I even have the recipe. I will have to make it this year.
ReplyDeleteI have one of these. My mom used to make it every year. I will have to try it this year.
ReplyDeleteI found a cast aluminum lamb cake mold at Goodwill a few weeks ago for $2.99! I am using it part of my Easter/spring decorations and I love it!
