Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1/3 cup salted butter, melted and cooled
Toppings (Optional)
- Frosting
- Drizzled melted white chocolate
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the brownies later.
- Prepare brownie batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, two whole large eggs, and melted, cooled salted butter. Beat these ingredients together using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until thoroughly combined. The batter will be very thick and dense, so hand mixing is possible but more challenging.
- Pour and spread batter: Pour the thick batter into the prepared 9×9 inch pan. Use a spoon to evenly spread the batter across the pan, smoothing the surface to ensure even baking.
- Bake the brownies: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is fully set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the brownies to cool for a few minutes. Lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper ends. Optionally, top with frosting, melted white chocolate drizzle, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy your strawberry-flavored brownies!
Notes
- Using parchment paper helps with easy removal and clean cutting of brownies.
- The batter is thick, so using an electric mixer is recommended for easier mixing.
- You can customize toppings with your favorite frosting or chocolate drizzle.
- Make sure the melted butter is cooled before mixing to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely.
- Baking times may vary, so check doneness starting at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking.
