Strawberry Brownies (From Cake Mix!)
It doesn't get easier (or more delicious) than these Strawberry Brownies made from cake mix. These are a strawberry lover's dream!
Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 box strawberry cake mix any brand
- ⅓ c. canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp. strawberry jam I recommend Bonne Maman
- 4 tbsp. milk 2%
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8 inch square baking pan with butter.
- Combine strawberry cake mix, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix until well-combined. Please note that the batter will be dense.
- Press the batter into the greased 8x8 pan. Pat it down tight, securing as low of a height as possible. Bake for roughly 16-20 minutes or until they have reached your desired level of doneness. Allow brownies to cool completely, roughly 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and milk. Whisk until fully-incorporated. Spread glaze over the cooled brownies. Slice with a knife or pizza cutter + enjoy!
Notes
- You will want to press the brownie dough as tightly into your greased pan as possible. This will help the batter stay dense.
- Do not follow the instructions on the back of the cake mix; you will add a different amount of eggs/oil than you would for a traditional strawberry cake (and no water).
- To check the doneness of the brownies, insert a toothpick into the middle. If it comes out clean, they are done.
- Allow brownies to fully cool before glazing them; this will help maximize the glaze.
- To cut brownies, you can use a knife - however, I recommend a pizza cutter. So much easier!
