Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Vanilla 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 mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil thoroughly until you get a smooth batter.
- Spread the Batter: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan, then evenly spread the batter inside, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Bake until the edges start to pull away from the pan to ensure a chewy texture; avoid overbaking to keep moistness.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the brownies bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon), and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
- Glaze the Brownies: Once brownies are fully cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Allow the glaze to set before cutting into 12 squares.
Notes
- For extra strawberry flavor, consider folding in fresh or freeze-dried strawberries into the batter.
- Make sure brownies are completely cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
- Adjust the glaze thickness by varying the amount of milk to make it thicker for a coating or thinner for a drizzle.
- Store glazed brownies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
