Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Non-stick cooking spray (for greasing pan)
Strawberry Glaze
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp strawberry preserves
- 1 1/2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients to ensure you have everything ready before starting.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease the brownie pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla extract; mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the prepared batter evenly into the greased brownie pan, smoothing out the surface.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the brownies for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set firmly.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the brownies cool, whisk together strawberry preserves, powdered sugar, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Glaze the Brownies: Spread the strawberry glaze evenly over the cooled brownies and let it stand until the glaze sets before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and sliding off.
- Use fresh or homemade strawberry preserves for a more natural flavor.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute canola oil with melted butter.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- You can add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor if desired.
