Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (about 450 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 15 Golden Oreos, crushed
  • ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for 15-20 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the macerated strawberries over the batter, spreading gently.
  7. Carefully pour the remaining batter on top, then spread the rest of the strawberries over it.
  8. Crush the Golden Oreos into coarse crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. In a small bowl, mix crushed Oreos with melted butter and brown sugar until crumbly and evenly coated.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the cake.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  11. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  12. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

If strawberries release a lot of juice while macerating, drain some off before layering to avoid sogginess. Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender. Tent the cake with foil if the crumble browns too quickly. Cool completely before slicing for best texture.
