Description
Easy-to-make bars with a flavor similar to raw cake batter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth. If using, fold in the sprinkles.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use almond extract instead of vanilla.
- You can top these bars with a simple vanilla glaze after they cool.
