Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sifted flour
  • 2 1/2 t. baking powder
  • 3/4 t. salt
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. shortening
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 3 egg whites, beaten

Instructions
 

  • Sift all dry ingredients together.
  • Stir shortening in a mixing bowl, to soften. Mix in sifted dry ingredients.
  • Add milk and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer for two minutes.
  • Fold in beaten egg whites and beat for one minute.
  • Grease lambie mold VERY well, flour and fill with half containing lamb's face. Insert a tookpick inthe nose for reinforcement, and cover with the other half of mold, being sure the edges lock together.
  • Bake cake for 50-60 minutes at 375 degrees F. and let cook slightly before removing from the mold. Frost with white icing, sprinkle with coconut, and decorate with a cherry for the nose, raisins for eyes, and a ribbon or flowers around the neck.
  • A GOOD WAY TO INSURE AGAINST LEAKING IS TO BAKE WITH NOSE DOWN FOR 25 MINUTES, THEN TURNED TO THE BACK TO FINISH THE BAKING TIME.
