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)
Frosting
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (90g)
- 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves (40g, Bonne Maman recommended)
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk (22 ml)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (15g, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray an 8×8 inch pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy removal later.
- Mix and bake the brownies: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable or canola oil, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated, using either a spoon or an electric mixer. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare the strawberry frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, cream cheese (if using), and milk until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk slightly if needed to reach desired spreading consistency.
- Frost the brownies: Once the brownies are completely cooled, evenly spread the strawberry frosting over the top. Chill for a few minutes if desired to set the frosting before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
- Optional cream cheese in frosting adds richness but can be omitted for a lighter topping.
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- Bonne Maman strawberry preserves are recommended for the best authentic strawberry flavor.
- Experiment with adding fresh strawberries on top for garnish and extra freshness.
