Pink Vanilla Cake Squares – soft, fluffy, and beautifully decorated!
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
For the Pink Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pink food coloring
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing it into squares.
For the Frosting:
Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat until fluffy.
Mix in pink food coloring until you achieve the desired shade.
Decoration Tips:
Pipe or spread a generous layer of pink frosting over each cake square.
Decorate with sugar pearls in varying sizes for an elegant look.
Add small heart-shaped sprinkles for a charming touch.
If you want extra texture, use a piping bag with a star tip to create swirls or patterns.
Arrange the squares neatly on a white serving platter for a clean and professional presentation.
