It's lamb cake season in Chicagoland.

My sister found a cast aluminum lamb cake pan while thrifting in Louisville. I was unable to identify the pan but the shape looks exactly like the #Griswold cast iron lamb mold.

I've been experimenting with the pan and managed to turn out one vanilla cake with a broken ear and one perfect chocolate cake. I think I'm ready to try a pound cake recipe. 😉

I'm using the Griswold technique of flipping the pan while baking.

I only made 1 lamb cake this year. I used a recipe for Lady Baltimore cake. It made exactly the amount of batter to fill the lamb cake mold.

I pressed edible confetti on the cake to cover it with polka dots.

Next year I may attempt a zebra (chocolate/vanilla) striped cake or a rainbow unicorn lamb.
