Ingredients: 

Cooking spray

4 1/2 c. (540 g.) all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. kosher salt

2 1/2 c. (500 g.) granulated sugar

2 c. (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Pink food coloring (optional) 

Sprinkles, for decorating

Steps to Make It:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 13″ x 9″ pan with parchment, leaving a 2″ overhang on 2 opposite sides. Grease parchment with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.

Step 2: In another large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat granulated sugar and butter until combined and smooth. Add eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

Step 3: Add dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Spread batter in an even layer in the prepared pan.

Step 4: Bake bar until golden and top feels set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool.

FROSTING
