Ingredients
Choose your base gluten free cake recipe:
AND add frosting:
Instructions
- Make cake batter according to scratch recipe (link above).
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Prepare the lamb mold by oiling it very well, particularly the nooks and crannies (i.e. the ears, nose, etc.). Fill face side of the mold to within 1/4 inch of the rim. Place the back side of the mold on top of the filled mold. Place filled mold onto a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Test for doneness by lifting off the top side of the mold using potholders and test with a toothpick. The cake is done if the toothpick comes out clean. Remove to completely cool before frosting.
- (*Note: if your mold comes with directions, follow the specific baking directions prescribed for your mold. For example, if your mold is not made of a heavier cast metal material, you may need to tie a string around the two mold pieces to keep them together during the bake.)
- Since my lamb mold is only 7 inches, I had enough batter leftover to make about 16 more chocolate cupcakes (bonus!).
- To frost, make your favorite white frosting and fill a piping bag with frosting and a small star-shaped tip. Place stars of frosting all over the cake where the “wool” should be. Go around the stars loosely with a toothpick, swirling the stars into puffs of “wool.”
Notes
To make the green “grass,” fill a small zip-top bag with shredded coconut and 3-4 drops of green food coloring. Shake to distribute, then sprinkle around the cake.
If you have extra cupcakes and any extra colored coconut, consider making another Easter treat: Easter Basket Cupcakes!
