Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Are you worried about getting the batter just right? Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a square baking pan. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light, then add eggs and vanilla slowly.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Are you unsure how thick the batter should feel? Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture while adding milk. Stir gently until smooth and slightly thick. Pour into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes until the top feels soft but set.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Are you wondering when to start decorating? Let the cake cool fully before cutting it into small square or rectangle blocks. Divide frosting into bowls and add different food colors. Spread frosting evenly over each piece, keeping the colors bright and playful.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Are you thinking about how to create that Lego look? Stack or arrange the blocks neatly and add small round dots on top using extra frosting. Chill slightly so everything sets. For 2 people, make fewer blocks. For larger groups, simply repeat layers.
