Recipe:
– What goes in: 1 box vanilla cake mix + ingredients, 1 box (3 oz) strawberry Jell-O, 1 cup boiling water, 1½–2 cups fresh strawberries, 1½ cups crushed vanilla wafers or golden Oreos, ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, ¼ cup melted butter, 8 oz whipped topping, fresh strawberries
– How it comes together: Bake the cake as directed and let it cool just slightly. While it’s still warm, poke holes all over the surface… this is what lets all that strawberry flavor soak right in 
Dissolve the Jell-O in boiling water, then stir in the diced strawberries. Pour it slowly over the cake, making sure it seeps into every hole. Pop it in the fridge and let it chill until everything sets and the cake turns extra moist and flavorful.
For the crunch, mix crushed cookies with freeze-dried strawberries and melted butter until you get that crumbly, slightly crisp texture.
Once the cake is fully chilled, spread the whipped topping over the surface in a thick, fluffy layer. Sprinkle the strawberry crunch all over the top, then finish with fresh strawberries for that final touch 
Every layer hits differently… soft cake, juicy strawberry filling, creamy topping, and that sweet crunchy finish on top
Serve it cold for the best texture… refreshing, creamy, and full of flavor.
