Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by spraying it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix batter as per the instructions on the package. Add in one packet of strawberry jello mix and whisk until well combined.
Transfer the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat the cold heavy whipping cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the cake.
For the crunch topping, pulse the golden Oreos in a food processor until you achieve a crumbly texture. Alternatively, you can place the cookies in a ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin or by hand.
Add the melted butter and the remaining packet of strawberry jello mix to the cookie crumbs and mix well.
Sprinkle the cookie crumb mixture evenly over the frosted cake.
Serve as is or top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, if desired.
