Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease an 11x7-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract. Mix until a thick, uniform batter forms.1 (15.5 ounce) box strawberry cake mix, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread it into a smooth, even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, for about 20 minutes.
- While the brownies cool, make the glaze: In a food processor or using an immersion blender, puree the chopped strawberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.3 strawberries, chopped, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and salt. Pour the strawberry puree into the sugar and whisk until a smooth, pourable glaze forms.1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pour the strawberry glaze over the cooled brownies and spread it into an even layer.
- Allow the glaze to set completely before cutting into 12 squares. For cleaner slices, you can refrigerate the brownies until the glaze is firm.
Notes
The consistency of the glaze can be adjusted by adding more confectioners' sugar to thicken it or a tiny bit of water or extra strawberry puree to thin it. For the best results, ensure the brownies are completely cool before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting.
