Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil, mixing thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well blended.
- Spread Batter: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking. Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the edges pull away slightly from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, ensuring a chewy texture. Avoid overbaking.
- Make the Glaze: While the brownies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more to reach desired consistency), and vanilla extract until you have a smooth, pourable glaze.
- Cool and Glaze: Once the brownies have cooled completely in the pan, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
- Serve: Cut the glazed brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy your sweet, chewy strawberry treat!
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, use less milk. For a thinner glaze, add a little more milk gradually.
- Ensure the brownies are completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and running off.
- Use a toothpick test to check doneness; the brownies should be slightly underbaked for chewy texture.
- You can add fresh strawberries on top after glazing for extra fruity flavor and decoration.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to one week.
