Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Shortcake Bars

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Spread half the batter in the greased pan, layer strawberries over it, and top with the remaining batter.
Bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
