Posted by jerseyjan at anonymous 3/26/02 5:46:07 pm

1/2 pound butter
1/2 pound cream cheese
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
5 large eggs
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder

Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour. The recipe makes two cakes.

Place the lamb cake mold face DOWN on a cookie sheet - fill buttered and floured pan half with half of the batter and then place the back half of the mold on the top so that the vent hole is not blocked. The batter will rise to fill the top half (back half) of the mold so the finished cake is one piece.

Vanilla Butter Frosting
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk (approximately)

You can use coconut or fine grind walnuts over the frosting. Also use jelly beans for the eyes (black-eyes pink-nose red-lips)
