Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 18–20 Golden Oreos, coarsely crushed
- 3 oz (1 small box/85g) strawberry gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 13×9" light metal baking pan with foil or parchment, extending the sides over the edges. Spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix powder (do not prepare according to package directions), melted butter, and egg with a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan using your hands to form an even layer.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Prepare the whipped cream cheese frosting by blending softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake base.
- In a separate bowl, combine the coarsely crushed Golden Oreos, strawberry gelatin powder, and melted butter.
- Sprinkle the crunch topping evenly over the frosting layer.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Only mix the cake mix powder with butter and egg – do not follow the package directions for the base layer, as this creates a chewy, fudgy texture. Make sure there are no huge chunks when crushing the Oreos; the mixture should be crumbly. Store covered at room temperature for up to one week.
