Osterlamm Kuchen. German Easter lamb cake

You can find the Lamb cake customarily on an Easter breakfast table in Germany

A juicy Easter lamb made from a cake batter has become a beloved tradition for many families in Germany. Instead of a large cake, you can bake little Easter lambs and Easter bunnies, which I personally like much better. This way everyone gets their own mini cake. You can flavor the Easter lamb batter in different ways, vanilla and/or rum or almond extract, also decorate the finished lamb cake in different ways.
