Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 ½ cups crushed golden Oreos (about 20 cookies)
  • 4 tbsp (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, fully combining each before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Add dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in chopped strawberries gently with a spatula to avoid crushing.
  7. In a small bowl, mix crushed golden Oreos, melted butter, and brown sugar until crumbs are evenly coated and clump slightly.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Evenly sprinkle the Oreo crumble topping over the batter.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Use softened butter (not melted) for best creaming results. Fold strawberries gently to avoid color bleeding and watery batter. Crush Oreos to a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks for texture. Start checking cake at 40 minutes if your oven runs hot. Cool completely on a wire rack to keep topping crisp. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend; for dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant milk.
