Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a lamb-shaped cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In the meantime, prepare the buttercream frosting by creaming together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until light and fluffy.
10. Once the cake has cooled, use a serrated knife to level off any uneven parts from the top and bottom of the cake.
11. Place the cake on a serving platter and generously frost the entire cake with the buttercream frosting.
12. Sprinkle white decorating sugar all over the cake to create the appearance of fluffy lamb fur.
