Velikonoční beránek

Exclusively associated with Easter, this traditional Czech cake is prepared with a simple egg-based batter that is baked in a lamb-shaped mold. The buttery, light sponge is occasionally enriched with dried fruit or colorful jelly bits, and the whole cake is either lightly dusted with powdered sugar or covered in chocolate.

Since it symbolizes rebirth and the victory of life over death, the sweet beránek is served as the main dessert on Easter Sunday.
