# Instrucciones:

02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk thoroughly until integrated.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until homogenous.
04 - Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing the batter.
05 - Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. For topping, mix coarse sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over batter, if using.
06 - Bake for 23–25 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should exit clean.
07 - Allow bars to rest in pan for 10 minutes. Lift out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into bars and serve.
