Strawberry Cake-Mix Bars with Fresh Berry Glaze (Print-Friendly Version)

A measured strawberry cake mix combines with butter and eggs to make dense bars in an eleven-by-seven-inch pan. Fresh strawberries supply the glaze liquid, so add their puree gradually. Cool the bars fully before glazing to avoid a melted, runny surface.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

01 - 15.5 oz box strawberry cake mix

02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

03 - 2 large eggs

04 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided

05 - 3 strawberries, chopped

06 - 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar, or more as needed

07 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat the oven to 350°F and grease an 11-by-7-inch baking dish.

02 - Measure the specified 15.5 ounces of strawberry cake mix. Mix it with melted butter, eggs and one teaspoon vanilla until evenly combined.

03 - Spread the thick batter across the prepared dish. Bake about sixteen to eighteen minutes, continuing if necessary until the center is set and a tester shows no wet batter.

04 - Cool completely in the pan.

05 - Wash and hull the strawberries, then puree with the remaining teaspoon vanilla using clean equipment. Stir puree gradually into powdered sugar with the salt until the glaze is spreadable, adding more sugar only if needed.

06 - Spread over the cooled bars and refrigerate until set. Cut into portions with a clean knife and keep refrigerated.
