Scale
Brownie Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, two large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly until the batter is well blended and smooth.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan lightly to prevent sticking.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the greased pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the pan. Be careful not to overbake, as you want to maintain a chewy texture.
- Make the Glaze: While the brownies are baking or cooling, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Apply the Glaze: Once the brownies have completely cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing into 12 squares for serving.
Notes
- Use only 1 tablespoon of milk initially for a thick glaze, adding more if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and sliding off.
- For extra strawberry flavor, consider adding freeze-dried strawberry pieces into the batter before baking.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
- To avoid a cakey texture and maintain chewiness, do not overbake beyond the recommended time.
