Recipe Notes
Can I Cut The Strawberry Brownies Recipe In Half?
Yes. To prepare brownies in an 8×8 inch baking dish, simply mix one box of strawberry cake mix with 1/3 cup vegetable oil and two eggs. Cut the lemon-glaze down by mixing one cup of powdered sugar, with two tablespoons lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The baking time will reduce slightly to 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cake Mix Brownies
You’ll be surprised to know that there are several inventive ways to use cake mix to make more than just cakes and brownies being one of them!
A typical strawberry cake mix requires you to add water, oil, and eggs, resulting in a fluffy, tender strawberry cake. However, to make strawberry cake mix brownies, you’d skip the water, and only stir in the oil and some of the eggs. The batter will be extremely thick and gummy. Once baked, the strawberry brownies will have that familiar brownie-like texture, dense, yet tender, with a crackly crust.
Don’t feel limited to just a strawberry cake mix. You can whip up any flavor brownie with an inexpensive box of cake mix, whenever you’d like, using just oil and eggs. We recommend chocolate, lemon, yellow or red velvet. The possibilities for this ingenious baking hack are endless.
Make your cake mix brownies more sinfully delicious by adding some mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, fresh fruit, candy pieces, or any type of nut.
