For the Strawberry Cake

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup strawberry puree (fresh or frozen strawberries, blended and strained)
• ½ cup milk or buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons sour cream or yogurt (for extra moisture)

These ingredients create a soft, tender cake with a delicate crumb and a natural strawberry flavor. The strawberry puree adds freshness, while sour cream or yogurt keeps the cake moist and rich without heaviness.

For the Oreo Crumble

• 20 Oreo cookies
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

The Oreo crumble is simple yet impactful. Crushed cookies mixed with melted butter create a rich, crunchy topping that contrasts beautifully with the soft cake.

Optional Frosting or Filling (Optional but Recommended)

While this cake is delicious on its own, you can elevate it further with a light frosting or filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

This whipped cream layer adds lightness and complements both the strawberry and Oreo flavors without overpowering them.
