Dessert Bar Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  4. 4

    Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.

  5. 5

    Add Seasonal Fruit

    Gently fold in the seasonal fruit until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Bake the Dessert Bar

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the dessert bar to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar before cutting into squares and serving.
