Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Glaze (Optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- Fresh sliced strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it evenly with parchment paper to ensure the brownies don’t stick.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, 2 large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Stir until a thick, uniform batter forms. If you like, gently fold in 1/2 cup white chocolate chips for extra sweetness and texture.
- Spread Batter and Bake: Pour and spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan, smoothing out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the brownies are cooked through.
- Cool the Brownies: Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan. This helps them to set and enhances the chewy texture.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the prepared glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. For an extra burst of flavor and color, top with fresh sliced strawberries before slicing the brownies into 12 squares and serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor and a fresh touch, add sliced fresh strawberries on top after glazing.
- These brownies have a chewy, fudgy texture rather than a cakey one, which makes them delightfully dense and rich.
