Strawberry Cake with Oreo Crumble 🍓🍪 – Sweet, Creamy & Irresistible

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently, making sure they’re evenly distributed in the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

2️⃣ Cool the Cake

1. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

3️⃣ Make the Whipped Cream Topping

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3–5 minutes. Make sure the bowl and beaters are chilled for better results.

4️⃣ Assemble the Cake

1. Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake.
2. Generously sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies over the whipped cream topping for extra crunch and flavor.

5️⃣ Serve

• Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy this delicious and fun cake as a sweet ending to any meal!
