EASTER LAMB CAKE
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

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.

Tips:
- Prepare in advance: To save time on Easter Sunday, prepare the cake layers and frosting ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. You can also make the buttercream frosting up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality chocolate.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake layers evenly: To ensure that the cake layers bake evenly, rotate the pans halfway through the baking time.
- Let the cake layers cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Chill the frosted cake before serving: This will help the frosting to set and make the cake easier to slice.

This Easter Lamb Cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any Easter celebration. With its moist and fluffy cake layers, rich and creamy frosting, and adorable lamb design, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone.
