No Easter without sweet Easter lamb - with the basic recipe it definitely won't be dry. Juicy and aromatic, instead of dry and crumbly.
The lamb symbolizes Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God who died for the sins of humanity. The Easter lamb stands for new life and resurrection. Even in the Middle Ages it was customary to bake a lamb for Easter. At that time, however, the lamb was still made from yeast dough and was more like a lamb bread than a cake.
