Strawberry Brownies (From Cake Mix!) with Chocolate Brownie Frosting

Step 1

For The Strawberry Brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set out a 9X13 inch baking dish. Then line it with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mixes, eggs, and melted butter. Stir until smooth.

Step 3

Scoop the thick batter into the prepared pan. Spread it out in an even layer. Then bake for 15-17 minutes. You want the edges to be set and the center to be just baked through, so the texture is fudgy.

Step 4

For The Brownie Frosting: Allow the strawberry brownies to cool as you make the frosting. In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened butter and cocoa powder together until very smooth.

Step 5

Scrape the bowl and beat in the corn syrup and vanilla extract. Then turn the mixer on low and beat in the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Add one tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until the brownie frosting is smooth and spreadable.

Step 7

Slather the frosting over the warm brownies and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 8

Then lift the entire sheet of brownies out of the pan by the edges of the parchment paper. Cut and serve.
