Steps:

• Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Adjust an oven rack to upper-middle position. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
• Sift flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a smaller bowl.
• Pour melted and cooled shortening into flour mixture and stir until absorbed. Add buttermilk mixture and mix well. Let batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Pour a scant tablespoon of batter into the well of each donut cup in the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to distribute batter evenly across the bottom of each; you won't use up all of the batter in this batch.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before removing onto a wire rack.
• Place powdered sugar into a small paper bag. Toss warm doughnuts in powdered sugar to coat.
• Spray the donut pan with cooking spray again. Spoon batter in tablespoonfuls into the hot pan for the next batch.
• Bake donuts in the preheated oven on the upper-middle rack until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan and toss in powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x12-inch baking dish.
• Remove the green tops from strawberries using the tip of small, sharp knife or strawberry huller. Place the berries cut-side down on a work surface and cut in half. Slice each half lengthwise 3 to 5 times before turning and cutting across in a nice, uniform dice.
• Combine diced strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl and stir until thoroughly combined and the cornstarch disappears. Set aside until needed.
• Combine oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Pour in melted butter and stir thoroughly until dry ingredients are evenly coated.
• Transfer 60% of the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out into an even layer. Press the mixture down with the back of a spoon or spatula to compress slightly.
• Place strawberries over the top using a slotted spoon. Do not press down. Reserve any accumulated juices in the bowl. Top with remaining oatmeal mixture and press down lightly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Drizzle reserved juices on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Press the top down with a spatula to compress slightly. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into bars and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl at medium speed until creamy. Add flour and salt; mix on low until blended. Spread evenly in bottom of greased 8"x8" baking pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until crust is golden.
• For filling: Beat eggs and sugar in bowl at medium speed. Add in butter, corn syrup, flour, buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon peel, if using; beat until smooth. Pour filling over baked crust.
• Bake 20-25 minutes until edges just begin to brown and filling is set. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into 12 bars.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 13 x 18-inch (33 x 45 cm) rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.
• Add the butter and granulated sugar to a large bowl and cream with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated.
• Add a third of the dry ingredients, followed by half of the buttermilk, another third of the dry ingredients, remaining buttermilk, and remaining dry ingredients, beating well after each addition. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
• Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and use an offset spatula to spread evenly.
• Bake until the cake is light golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18-22 minutes. Set the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the cake cool completely before frosting.
• While the cake is cooling, make the buttercream frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), beat the butter on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed for 30 seconds to incorporate. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 3 minutes, stopping as necessary to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until fluffy. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt and beat on medium speed for another 2 minutes, or until the buttercream is no longer grainy. If desired, continue mixing for another 1-2 minutes for a fluffier consistency.
• Assemble the cake: Use the parchment to lift the cake from the pan onto a flat surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the cake in half crosswise. Spread about half of the buttercream across one half of the cake. Place the other cake half on top of the buttercream, top down, and gently press down to adhere. Peel off the parchment lining. Spread the remaining buttercream evenly over the top layer of cake, reserving some buttercream for coloring, if desired. Decorate with colored buttercream, more sprinkles, or edible flowers as desired.
• Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the buttercream is firm. Using a very sharp knife, trim the edges of the sheet cake for clean lines. Slice crosswise into 8 strips, then slice in half vertically for 16 bars, running the knife under warm water and drying between cuts if desired for cleaner lines.
• Store the cake bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
• Enjoy!
