📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bars:
2
Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle of the oven. Line an 8x8 baking pan with foil or parchment and lightly grease. Set aside.
3
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for one full minute. Add lemon zest, juice, whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, whisking until well combined. Tap the whisk on the side of the bowl to remove all the excess batter, then remove the whisk from the bowl. Add the flour mixture and stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until well combined.

5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
6
Bake for ⏱️ 17-20 minutes, until the top is dry and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (the bars should still be pale). Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
7
Frosting (see note):
8
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, raspberry powder, vanilla extract, and raspberry jam. Beat until fully combined. Add milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the frosting is thin enough to spread. Spread frosting onto the cooled bars.
