How to center div vertically inside of absolutely positioned parent div

by

I am trying to get blue container in the middle of pink one, however seems vertical-align: middle; doesn’t do the job in that case.

<div style="display: block; position: absolute; left: 50px; top: 50px;">
    <div style="text-align: left; position: absolute;height: 56px;vertical-align: middle;background-color: pink;">
        <div style="background-color: lightblue;">test</div>
    </div>
</div>

Result:

Expectation:
