Description

This Strawberry Cake with Oreo Crumble is a sweet and playful mashup of fruity and chocolatey flavors. A moist strawberry base is speckled with fresh berries, layered with crunchy Oreo crumbles, and frosted in rich cookies ’n cream icing — the ultimate dessert for birthdays, parties, or just because.


Ingredients

For the Strawberry Cake:

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix (or use your favorite homemade strawberry cake batter)

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk

  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (optional for added texture)

For the Oreo Crumble:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 12-15 cookies)

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

For the Cookies ’n Cream Icing:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

  • 10 Oreo cookies, finely crushed


Instructions

  1. Bake the Strawberry Cake:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

    • In a large bowl, mix the strawberry cake mix with eggs, oil, and milk until smooth.

    • Gently fold in chopped strawberries, if using.

    • Divide batter between the pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    • Cool completely before assembling.

  2. Make the Oreo Crumble:

    • Mix crushed Oreos with melted butter until evenly coated.

    • Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes until crisp (optional for extra crunch). Cool completely.

  3. Prepare the Frosting:

    • Beat softened butter until creamy.

    • Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fluffy.

    • Add cream a little at a time for spreadable consistency.

    • Fold in finely crushed Oreos.

  4. Assemble the Cake:

    • Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread a thick layer of cookies ’n cream icing on top.

    • Sprinkle Oreo crumble generously over the frosting.

    • Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with remaining icing.

    • Decorate with more Oreo crumbs or halved strawberries if desired.


Notes

  • Chill cake layers before frosting to prevent crumbling.

  • For added texture, stir extra chopped strawberries into the frosting or garnish.

  • Can be made as a sheet cake or cupcakes if preferred.
