Strawberry Brownies

Strawberry Brownies are soft, chewy dessert bars (called a brownie based on the chewy texture!) bursting with strawberry flavor, made with just three ingredients and a simple lemon glaze. They are easy to make, and I love their beautiful pink color--perfect for Valentine's Day, Easter, or a springtime treat!

Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) strawberry cake mix
  • cup (73 g) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Strawberry Brownie

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until no dry cake mix remains. The batter will be thick but smooth.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to press the batter evenly.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.

Lemon Glaze*

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Pour the glaze over the warm brownies and spread into an even layer.
  • Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

Notes

As cake mix is the base for these brownies, they tend to be sweet. I highly recommend the lamon glaze to offset the sweetness and round out the flavor profile of this recipe.
