STRAWBERRY CAKE MIX BROWNIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with parchment paper, letting the excess hang over two sides to form a sling.
• Place 1 box strawberry cake mix, 1 large egg, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl and stir with a spatula until combined and no dry spots remain. The batter will be very thick. Transfer to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
• Bake until a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, about 25 minutes. Place the brownies on a wire rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, let 4 ounces cream cheese and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter sit at room temperature to soften.
• Place the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until light and smooth. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of kosher salt and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
• To serve, use the parchment sling to lift the brownies out of the pan onto a cutting board. Dollop the frosting onto the brownies and spread into an even layer. Top with sprinkles, if desired, before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray or shortening.
• In medium bowl, beat brownie mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl occasionally. Add strawberries; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in pecans, almonds and coconut. Spread batter in pan.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center and 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High about 15 seconds or until frosting can be stirred smooth. Spread or drizzle frosting over brownies.
