Ingredients:
For the Cake:
●1 box vanilla or white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
●1 cup boiling water
●1 package (3 oz) strawberry-flavored gelatin
●1/2 cup cold water
For the Topping:
●1 package (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed (or 3 cups whipped cream)
●1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
●1 cup milk
●1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
●1 cup crushed golden sandwich cookies (such as Golden Oreos)
Directions:
Bake the Cake:
●Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions and bake in a 9×13-inch pan. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Gelatin:
●In a medium bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir in the cold water. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the cake.
Add the Gelatin to the Cake:
●Pour the strawberry gelatin mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the Topping:
●In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled cake.
Make the Crunch Topping:
●In a separate bowl, combine the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and crushed golden sandwich cookies. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the frosted cake.
Serve:
●Cut the cake into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
