To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and egg, and mix until well combined.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
While the cake is cooling, make the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to achieve the festive red and green colors of the Little Debbie Christmas cakes. Spread the icing over the cooled cake and allow it to set before cutting into squares and serving.
With this simple recipe, you can bring the taste of Little Debbie Christmas cakes into your home for the holidays. These delicious treats are perfect for parties, gift-giving, or just enjoying with a cup of hot cocoa by the fire. So go ahead and give them a try, and see for yourself why they are such a beloved holiday tradition.
