EASTER LAMB CAKE
My grandmother started the tradition of making this molded Easter lamb cake when I was little. We continue to make it every Easter. The memory is so special that I keep the lamb mold in my kitchen next to my cookbooks as a decoration. Make sure to grease and flour the mold really well so that the cake does not stick. - Debra Waggoner, Grand Island, Nebraska

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan. I always use this glass pan.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses (if using) together in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the shredded apple until combined.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
- Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients, if possible.
- Don't overmix your batter: Overmixing can make your cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake your cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the texture and flavor of your cake. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start baking.
- Let your cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Baking a sugar and spice layer cake is a fun and rewarding experience. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and beautiful cake that will impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
