Cake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating until airy and pale.
- Add egg whites and whole egg one at a time, mixing well after each addition to create a smooth batter.
- Gently mix in the whole milk, strawberry gelatin powder, and vanilla extract until just incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting and Assembly
- Prepare the buttercream frosting by beating softened butter until smooth, then gradually mix in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.
- For the crunch topping, combine crushed Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries, then drizzle in melted butter.
- Once the cake is cool, frost the top generously with the buttercream and sprinkle the crunchy mixture evenly over it.
- Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
