Method

Preheat oven to 300 F.

Sift together flour and baking powder in a small bowl.

Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl - an electric mixer does this job best. 

Add flour to sugar/butter mixture alternately with milk.  Stir in flavoring of your choice. 

Fold in well-beaten egg whites, beaten to soft-peak stage.  

Prepare mold:  grease well with solid shortening and dust with flour being sure to knock off excess flour - no white spots, please. 

Fill the side of pan that has the face  first.  Attach back side, and bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes.  Turn off oven.  

Flip to bake back in turned-off oven for 10 minutes. Be sure not to leave the oven door open too long or all heat will escape.  

To decorate:  Ice with 7-minute Icing.  Sprinkle with white coconut   Use small raisins for eyes and a small red cinnamon candy for the nose. Lay Easter grass around and tie pastel-colored ribbon around the neck.  Let lamb hippety-hop to the table and watch children's eyes.
