Brownie Base
- 1 box strawberry cake mix with pudding in the mix (We used Pillsbury – but see post for more tips!)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil (80 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
Strawberry Brownie Frosting
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (90g)
- 2 tablespoon strawberry preserves (40g – Bonne Maman strawberry preserves is the best!)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons milk (22ml)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (15g – optional (see post for tips!))
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8×8 pan with nonstick spray or line with foil. Set aside. (I used a glass baking dish and lined with parchment paper.)
- Mix & Bake: In a large bowl, mix strawberry cake mix, eggs, oil and vanilla extract. (I’ve used a spoon and mixer, and the results turn out the same.) Press into the prepared pan. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until just done. Let cool completely
- Strawberry Brownie Frosting:
- Mix Frosting and Spread: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry jam, cream cheese (is using) and milk. Spread over the cooled strawberry brownies.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easier removal of brownies.
- Bonne Maman strawberry preserves is recommended for best flavor.
- Cream cheese in frosting is optional and adds a creamy texture.
