Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
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. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Spread the Batter: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check that the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan as a sign that they are done. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies chewy.
- Make the Glaze: While the brownies are baking or cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Adjust milk quantity to achieve a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.
- Glaze the Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled completely, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use less milk for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner drizzle.
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled before glazing to prevent melting the glaze.
- Substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider adding freeze-dried strawberry powder to the batter.
- Use an electric mixer for the glaze to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency if desired.
