2. Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients alternately with the yogurt until a smooth batter forms.
Gently stir in the sprinkles without overmixing.
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, then let it cool completely before adding the glaze.
