Ingredients

Brownies:

15.25 ounces strawberry cake mix (without pudding)
3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
½ cup water (room temperature)
½ cup canola oil
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons whole milk
½ teaspoon strawberry extract

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Make Batter: In a large bowl, stir together strawberry cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, water, oil, eggs, and strawberry extract until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Spread Batter: Press and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake: Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool: Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before glazing.
Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and strawberry extract until smooth.
Glaze & Set: Lift brownies from the pan using parchment paper, place on a cutting board, and spread glaze evenly over the top. Let glaze set for 20–30 minutes.
Slice & Serve: Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter—mix just until combined.
Batter will be thick; press evenly into the pan.
Use a metal pan for best baking results.
Slightly underbake for a soft, chewy texture.
Allow brownies to cool completely before glazing for clean slices.
