LAMB, RABBIT, OR SANTA CAKE
USING GRISWOLD CAST IRON CAKE MOLD

GRISWOLD LAMB OR RABBIT CAKES

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
4 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the insides of the mold.

Cream shortening, add sugar gradually. Cream well. Add beaten yolks and cream again. Alternately add the sifted dry ingredients, and then milk to which the flavoring has been added. Lastly, carefully fold in beaten egg whites.

Bake on face (face side down) 25 minutes, turn and bake on back (back side down) 20 minutes longer. Placing a toothpick in each ear will support that portion of the cake. (I would recommend using PAM or another shortening to the mold. I've also heard that if you heat the molds prior to adding the cake mix, it will not stick.)

ICING:
1 1/2 cups sugar
flavoring (your choice)
1 cup water
2 egg whites
1/4 lb shredded coconut

Boil sugar and water until it threads.

Beat whites of two eggs until stiff. Pour sugar syrup over egg whites gradually. Beat until cool.

Ice cake all over and throw on the coconut. Use raisins for the eyes and a piece of candied cherry or raisin for the mouth.
