Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 box strawberry cake mix
2 eggs
⅓ cup melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the batter becomes thick, glossy, and dough-like. Take your time folding the ingredients together to fully develop the warm strawberry aroma that enhances the comfort of the dessert.
Incorporate White Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in the white chocolate chips carefully. Then, spread the thick batter evenly into a lined baking dish, smoothing it slowly and gently with a spatula to press the batter to the edges. This careful spreading ensures even baking and prevents dry spots.
Bake the Brownies: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The brownies should be soft and slightly set in the center, with firmer edges. The baking process enhances the strawberry fragrance, resulting in a rich and nostalgic aroma.
Prepare the Glaze: Allow the brownies to cool completely before glazing. Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and strawberry extract in a small bowl until smooth and drizzly but thick enough to cling to the brownies’ surface without soaking in.
Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the prepared glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Let the glaze set fully before cutting into squares. Each bite blends luscious fudgy texture with a subtle fruity sweetness, making it a perfect tender and indulgent dessert option.

Notes

Using melted butter instead of oil enhances the richness and deepens the strawberry scent in the batter.
White chocolate chips are optional but add a creamy texture and complement the strawberry flavor.
Ensure brownies are fully cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting into the surface.
For a stronger strawberry flavor, you may add a bit more strawberry extract to the glaze.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
