Once both halves of your lamb cake mold are greased as if your life depends on it, it’s time to fill it with the cake batter. The mold on the right is ready for cake batter. Pay close attention to the ears (they cook fast, so the cake will stick) and the nose (it’s deep enough that it’s hard to reach).Ĭheck out the photo below.

Add one egg at a time, and let each egg fully incorporate into the sugar mixture before you add the next one. Scrape everything down to the bottom of the bowl and turn the mixer back on medium-low. The butter will lighten in color, and it will look very fluffy when it’s done. It will take 4-6 minutes to get the right consistency. Scrape the sides down as you need to, so everything gets incorporated. To soften 2 sticks of butter, it runs for a minute and a half on low power.Ĭream the butter and sugar together in the mixer, on medium speed, until it’s light and fluffy. My microwave has a “soften butter” setting, so I just use that. If you forget to take the butter out of the refrigerator (like I do, almost every time), you can soften butter in the microwave.
