Our Easter Lamb Cake

This Easter Lamb Cake recipe is a pound cake baked in a lamb mold. My daughter created this adorable Easter dessert for our Easter Sunday meal. It was almost too pretty to eat!
It is an old family tradition that I love seeing being continued.

You need a dense cake batter for this cake. Pound cakes are traditionally used in cake molds because they hold their shapes well after baking.

After a few catastrophes in years past, wooden picks are baked into the cake to
stabilize the neck and ears

Lamb cakes are traditional Easter desserts in many European countries, and ancestors who immigrated to America brought the tradition here. I remember lamb cakes at our family dinners when I was a child.

A big blob of frosting helps the lamb stand in place on the plate.

The little lamb is now only a delicious memory!

I remember lamb cakes in my childhood too. They were quite rare and the more I loved it (and never tasted, LOL). Yours are so sweet 😊

Well, that's a new one for me. It's an original habit, it's the first I've heard of it. I am looking around, but it's not in my region. But it is nice. 😎

I think it may have origins in Germany, Poland, Italy or from the Czech Republic. The original old cake molds were cast iron.

I do apologize milady, as I have been slacking with my communications lately. Much work, and a chronic health problem is one excuse, and then the power cuts also do not improve matters !LOL

I had no idea about this, such a valuable tradition and I am sure you feel proud always seeing your family still carrying the tradition. The cake looks super cute and beautiful. I bet it was so delicious too...

This reminds me of my daughter's llama cake she had for her birthday years ago!

Very cool mold process. I did not know you could do that!

A llama cake would be fun! I saw that Nordic Ware has a mold for an octopus cake. 😁
