Ingredients

  • 1 15.25 ounces box of strawberry cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  • (This makes it easier to lift bars out of pan and cut.)
  • Mix cake mix, eggs, and oil with a mixer until combined. About 2 minutes.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes but be careful not to overcook.
  • After brownies are cooled, hold the sides of the parchment paper and lift out of pan. (I cut the sides off of my bars)
  • In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until combined. Pour glaze over bars and spread to the edges.
  • Let the glaze set about 10 minutes and then cut into squares.

Notes

  • Don't over mix the batter. I recommend mixing until the ingredients are just combined.
  • This batter is thick. Don't worry about the consistency of the batter. It is going to be very thick.
  • Spray the baking dish and spatula. Don't forget line your baking dish with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. This will help make it easy to remove the strawberry brownies. I also spray my spatula to help spread out the dough in the dish.
  • Let cool. Make sure to let the bars completely cool before adding the glaze.
  • Chill to set the glaze. I like to put the glazed bars in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to help set the glaze.
