  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature

  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream or milk
  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the first three ingredients; set aside. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Spoon berries over top.
