Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Brownies
- 15.25 ounce box strawberry cake mix
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Strawberry Glaze
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons strawberry jam
- 2 Tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
- pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside to prepare for baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is combined into a thick batter.
- Press Batter: Using the palms of your hands, press the thick batter evenly into the prepared baking dish to create an even layer.
- Bake Brownies: Bake the batter in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together ⅔ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons strawberry jam, 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk), and a pinch of fine sea salt until smooth. Adjust with more cream or milk if needed to achieve a glue-like consistency.
- Glaze Brownies: Spread the strawberry glaze evenly over the cooled brownies to cover the surface.
- Slice and Serve: Once the glaze is set, slice the brownies into 16 bars and serve.
Notes
- Variation: For an extra treat, mix in ½ cup white chocolate chips into the batter before baking. To reduce sweetness, you can omit the glaze altogether.
- Storage: Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the unglazed brownies for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature before applying glaze and serving.
