Bounty – Easter Lamb
Instructions
- Melt 50 g dark chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat. Cut 2 bounty bars (30 g each) into small pieces and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat 100 g soft butter with 1 packet vanilla sugar and 100 g sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add 2 medium eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, stirring well after each addition.
- Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 170 g flour, 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, and 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder.
- Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture in alternating batches with 2 tablespoons milk, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold the bounty pieces into the batter.
- Preheat oven to 175 °C (347 °F).
- Grease a 0.7 litre lamb-shaped mold with fat and sprinkle breadcrumbs inside. Pour batter into mold.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until a skewer inserted in the thickest part comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the mold for about 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mix 100 g powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth to create a glaze.
- Brush the glaze over the lamb, leaving the face, legs, and ears uncovered.
- While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle 40 g desiccated coconut over the glazed areas.
- Draw the face and details on the lamb using chocolate or brown sugar coloring, then let dry completely.
- Tie a decorative bow around the lamb's neck, and optionally attach a small bell.
- Wrap the finished lamb in transparent foil as an Easter gift.
