Ingredients:
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Pink Frosting:
– 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
– 3-4 tablespoons milk
– 1-2 drops pink food coloring
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
