INGREDIENTS:

For the Brownies

1 box (15 oz / 425 g) strawberry cake mix

2 large eggs

1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil

For the Glaze

1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar

2 tbsp (30 ml) milk or heavy cream

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Step 3: Bake the Brownies

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.

Step 4: Make the Glaze

While the brownies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional milk if needed.

Step 5: Glaze the Brownies

Once the brownies have cooled completely, pour the glaze over the top and spread it evenly. Allow the glaze to set before slicing into squares.
