Chocolate Lamb for Easter

Do you have any Easter tradition? Like a dish you need to make every single year? I decided to make the cake in lamb form a new Easter tradition. This year I am going to serve this chocolate lamb, two years ago I made this lamb from a nut cake. My hubby already requested I make the cake in a lamb mold with this lemon pound cake, so I already have a plan for next year. I am certain that ther are more options, one is also German eggnog. The cake in a lamb mold you see pictured here is a simple chocolate pound cake. If you keep a few things in mind, you will have a wonderful cake that is a real eye-catcher. How about this beauty for Easter?

Classic Shepherd’s Pie

Have you heard of shepherd’s pie? This dish originates from Great Britain. It contains two layers, originally lamb (hence the reference to the shepherd) mixed with a few veggies and a layer of mashed potatoes. This is then baked in the oven and some cheddar melted and browned on the top. I have now also the version with beef available, which is called cottage pie. This is definitely comfort food and not only delicious in winter. We ate this pie for Easter, I did use minced lamb and mixed it with a bit of minced beef. However, if you make the pie entirely with beef, this would be considered a cottage pie. This pie can easily be made in advance and also freezes nicely. If you freeze it, it will need much longer when baked. I truely enjoy making this in advance all stress-free.
