Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 box (15.25 oz) (432 g) strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (113 g) salted butter melted
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
Strawberry Glaze
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (30 g) strawberry preserves or jam
- 2-3 tbsp (30-45 ml) milk add more as needed to thin
Equipment
- 8x8 inch baking pan
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Spatula
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment, if desired, for easier removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, melted salted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed (or with a spatula) just until evenly blended. Batter should be glossy and thick.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
- Cool brownies completely in the pan before glazing (about 15 minutes).
- For the glaze: in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and 2 tablespoons of milk. If needed, add a third tablespoon of milk slowly—glaze should run but not puddle.
- Drizzle the glaze over cooled brownies. Smooth with a spatula, and let it set for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
These brownies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze unglazed brownies, then thaw and glaze before serving. To switch things up, try lemon cake mix, add white chocolate chips, or swap the glaze for cream cheese frosting.
