Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 1 box strawberry cake mix with pudding in the mix (e.g., Pillsbury)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil (80 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
Strawberry Brownie Frosting
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (90 g)
- 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves (40 g, preferably Bonne Maman)
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk (22 ml)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (15 g, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or line it with foil or parchment paper for easier removal.
- Mix Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable or canola oil, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly using a spoon or electric mixer until ingredients are well blended.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour and evenly press the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the brownies are just set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare Frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, milk, and cream cheese (if using) until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency by adding a bit more milk if too thick.
- Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies have fully cooled, spread the strawberry frosting evenly over the top. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use strawberry cake mix that includes pudding for moist texture.
- Bonne Maman strawberry preserves work best for a natural strawberry flavor.
- Cream cheese in the frosting is optional but adds a rich tangy flavor.
- Ensure brownies are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
