Creating these stunning Pink Vanilla Cake Squares is easier than you think. Follow these simple steps to make your own:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add the Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Incorporate the Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract; mix until fully incorporated.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture and whole milk to the butter mixture. Begin and end with the flour, mixing until just combined.
7. Add Color: Carefully add red food coloring, one drop at a time, mixing until the desired shade of pink is achieved.
8. Pour into the Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Frost (Optional): Once cooled, you can spread cream cheese frosting on top or simply dust with powdered sugar.
