Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Cake Base:
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions.
- Prepare the strawberry cake mix as directed on the box. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch cake pan.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Add the Jello Layer:
- Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, poke holes all over the top using a skewer or the back of a wooden spoon.
- Dissolve one package of strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water.
- Pour the dissolved gelatin evenly over the warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the jello to set completely.
Make the Strawberry Crumble Topping:
- Place the Golden Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies, the second package of strawberry gelatin, and melted butter. Stir lightly to create a crumbly mixture.
Assemble the Cake:
- Spread the Cool Whip evenly over the chilled cake, creating a creamy layer.
- Sprinkle the strawberry crumble generously over the Cool Whip, ensuring even coverage.
Garnish and Serve:
- Top the cake with halved or whole fresh strawberries for a stunning presentation.
- Slice the cake into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the Cool Whip to prevent melting.
- For a finer crumble, pulse the Golden Oreos in a food processor.
