Ingredients

For the brownies:

15.25 ounce box strawberry cake mix

2 large eggs

⅓ cup salted butter, melted (or 1/3 cup oil)

1 teaspoon strawberry extract (see notes below)

For the glaze:

¾ cup powdered sugar

2 Tablespoons strawberry preserves

1 ½ Tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray then line the bottom with parchment paper, making sure it comes up at least two of the sides, and set aside (this will help with removing the brownies later.)

In a large mixing bowl, mix the 15.25 ounce box strawberry cake mix, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup salted butter, melted and 1 teaspoon strawberry extract until combined. The batter will be very thick.

Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Oven times may vary.

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the brownies are completely cool, prepare the glaze by adding ¾ cup powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons strawberry preserves and 1 ½ Tablespoons milk into a bowl and whisk until combined.

Pour the glaze over top the brownies and smooth evenly.

Cut into 9 large or 12 small pieces and serve!
