Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Press the remaining dough into the baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until just set.
  6. Prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and melted butter, pour over the baked base.
  7. Dot the reserved dough over the filling and gently swirl it in with a knife.
  8. Bake again for 18-22 minutes until golden brown on the edges.
  9. Beat the softened cream cheese and butter, then add powdered sugar and milk to make the frosting.
  10. Once cool, frost the bars and let sit for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
