Ever had a dessert so simple yet so satisfying, you ended up making it on repeat? That’s exactly what happens with these Strawberry Brownies. They’re made from strawberry cake mix and a handful of easy ingredients—but don’t be fooled. The end result is thick, fudgy, pink perfection with that just-right chew. Let’s dive into the easiest brownie recipe you’ll make this year.
You probably have most of these already:
1 box strawberry cake mix – Go with a trusted brand like Pillsbury for best texture.
2 large eggs – These help bind the batter and create that chewy bite.
⅓ cup vegetable or canola oil – Keeps things moist and rich.
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons strawberry preserves
1–2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
Cream cheese (optional, about 2 oz softened)
In a bowl, combine your cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir it up until a thick, dough-like batter forms.
Line a glass baking dish with parchment paper.
Press the batter in evenly using your hands or a spatula.
Bake at 350°F for 18 to 22 minutes until just set. Don’t overbake — the center should feel slightly soft.
While the brownies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and milk. Add cream cheese if you want a thicker, richer frosting. Pour or spread over cooled brownies.
Avoid fresh strawberries in the batter, as they release water when baking and may create soggy spots.
Store them in a single layer, or layer with parchment if stacking—especially if frosted. These brownies stay fresh for 3–4 days in the fridge or on the counter (unfrosted).
