Yield: 4 people

Equipment

  • 1 Lamb mould

Ingredients you need

  • 75 g Chocolate of your choice
  • 100 g Butter
  • 70 g Sugar
  • 1 packet Vanilla sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 125 g All-purpose flour
  • 5 g Cocoa powder
  • 1½ tsp Baking powder

Directions

  • Put chocolate chunks into a suitable bowl (e.g. a metal bowl) and melt chocolate over a hot water bath.
  • Grease your Easter lamb mould with butter and lightly dust all-purpose flour all over the mould. It is important to grease every single corners and small details of the mould.
  • In another bowl, add butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and eggs. Mix ingredients until creamy with an electric (hand)mixer or by hand.
  • Thereafter, add in other dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking powder and cocoa powder) to the mixture and mix.
  • Lastly, pour melted chocolate into the bowl and mix again. Preheat baking oven to 180 °C.
  • Transfer the mixture into the mould. It should cover about ¾ of the lamb. Remove air and make sure that the batter gets into every corner of the lamb by gently knocking the mould onto the table-top.
  • Place a parchment paper on the baking tray and bake the cake at 180 °C for 40 minutes at the lowest level of the baking oven
  • Once finished baking, take out the chocolate Easter lamb cake and place it on a cooking tray. Poke a toothpick to see if the cake is ready (if the toothpick is clear, then the cake is ready). Allow the Easter lamb cake to cool down completely before getting it out of the mould.
  • Dust a generous amount of icing sugar over the cake, decorate and serve.
  • The chocolate German Easter lamb cake can be stored up till one week, if it is stored properly.
