Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch glass pan with parchment paper. This makes it easier to remove the brownies later.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract using a fork until well combined.
Add the strawberry cake mix and salt to the bowl. Stir with a spatula until well combined; the mixture will be thick. Don’t be alarmed by the thickness; this is what gives the brownies their fudgy texture.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, using a spatula to evenly press it into the pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is puffy. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking, as you want them soft and chewy.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the glaze. This step is essential for ensuring the glaze adheres well.
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and milk until smooth. This glaze adds a deliciously sweet finish.
Once the brownies are cool, spread the glaze over the top for a beautiful and tasty finish.
For cleaner slices, let the glaze set for a few hours before cutting. This will help the glaze firm up a bit.
Notes
For an extra touch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or coconut flakes on top of the glaze before it sets.
