Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Follow the instructions on the muffin mix packet to prepare the batter.
Bake:
Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
Pour the prepared batter into the greased pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make the Glaze:
While the cake is baking, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Glaze the Cake:
Once the muffin cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Method of Storage
To keep your Strawberry Muffin Cake with Glaze fresh and delicious, follow these storage guidelines:
Storage Instructions
Cooling:
Allow the muffin cake to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to storage. This prevents moisture buildup and helps maintain its texture.
Airtight Container:
Once cooled, store the muffin cake in an airtight container. This will protect it from air exposure and help retain its moisture.
Refrigeration:
The muffin cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure the container is sealed tightly to keep it fresh.
Freezing (Optional):
For longer storage, you can freeze the muffin cake. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Frozen muffin cake can last for up to 2-3 months. To enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature.
Tips for Freshness
Glaze Consideration: If you prefer, you can store the glaze separately and apply it just before serving to maintain its fresh appearance.
Reheating: When reheating, you can warm individual pieces in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a cozy treat.
Enjoying Your Leftovers
Serve the muffin cake chilled, at room temperature, or warmed up, and consider adding a fresh strawberry or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch!
