Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownies:
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract or puree (optional)
- pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
- Mix the brownie batter: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until well blended. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake the brownies: Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until set at the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and strawberry extract. Add pink food coloring if desired.
- Glaze the brownies: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled brownies and allow it to set before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For added freshness, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped fresh strawberries to the batter before baking.
- Be careful not to overbake the brownies to maintain their fudgy, chewy texture.
