Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate (optional)
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1–2 teaspoons strawberry jam or puree
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Make the batter: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until a thick, uniform batter forms. If desired, gently fold in the white chocolate chips to add sweet pockets in the brownies.
- Bake the brownies: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.
- Cool the brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. This cooling step helps set their fudgy texture and prepares them for glazing.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry jam or puree, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk as needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glaze reaches a pourable consistency.
- Glaze the brownies: Drizzle or spread the strawberry glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Let the glaze set before slicing the brownies into squares.
Notes
- For a more intense berry flavor, incorporate freeze-dried strawberry powder into the glaze.
- The brownies have a chewy, fudge-like texture, making them moist and delightful.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
