Buttermilk Easter Lamb Cakes




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk plus 1 teaspoon baking soda (we stirred a few times to combine)
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla



Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the shortening and sugar; add eggs. Combine shortening mixture alternately with flour and milk. Add vanilla, mix until combined. Grease and flour mold. Pour batter into the back mold (the section without a steam vent). Place front mold over back mold, making sure it snaps into place. Place mold on a cookie sheet (the lamb's facial features should be looking up). Bake about 45 minutes until tested done.

Makes two cakes.

Lamb Cake Frosting
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar

In a medium pot, heat the milk: add flour (we used a wire whisk). Cook until thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from stove and cool completely.

Combine sugar and shortening. Beat until creamy. Combine cooled milk and flour mixture to shortening mixture; beat again until light and fluffy.

Recipe makes enough frosting for two cakes.
