Ingredients And Variations
Boxed Cake Mix – I used a yellow cake mix for this recipe. You are more than welcome to use a white cake mix. You will want the boxed cake mix and ingredients on the box.
Strawberry Jello – You will need two boxes of strawberry Jello. You could swap strawberry with cherry or raspberry very easily if you wanted.
Water – You will need hot and cold water for making the Jello mixture to pour over you cake.
Whipped Cream – I used Cool Whip but you can make homemade whipped cream if you choose.
Golden Oreos – This is the crumble topping with the Jello. Finely crush your cookies.
Butter – Salted or unsalted butter works. I recommend real butter and not margarine, as it will cause a greasy texture.
How to Make
Full directions on how to make this strawberry crunch cake are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a visual walk through.
Step One: First step is mixing up your cake mix and baking it as directed on the box. Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes.
Step Two: Next heat up water, and pour into a packet of the strawberry Jello. Stir until the Jello mixture is fully dissolved. Then add in the cold water and mix again.
Step Three: Poke holes all over the cake, and pour the Jello mixture over the top. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours. You want the cake to fully set up.
Step Four: Next, you will spread whipped cream all over the top of the cake, in an even layer.
Step Five: Crush your Oreos, and then add the other packet of Jello mixture, and melted butter. Mix well and sprinkle over the top of the cake.
Step Six: Finally refrigerate and when ready to serve top with fresh sliced strawberries if you want.

Tips For Recipe
- You will bake the cake as directed. Make sure to not overcook or it will dry out the cake.
- Use a round or thin spatula to poke holes all over the cake. You want to create holes for the jello to soak into the cake.
- Refrigerate before topping with Cool Whip or it will melt into the cake.
- This cake can be made a day in advance. I just leave off the Oreo crumble till right before serving.
Storing
This poke cake with Jello needs to be refrigerated. As to the whipped topping and Jello mixture it will spoil if left out. Just place in a covered dish.
In terms of freezing, you can freeze this jello cake with strawberry crunch topping. Just leave off any fresh strawberries, and freeze 2-3 months. Then thaw in the fridge overnight and enjoy.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CRUMBLE
A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.
STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and grease a 9×13 dish with your preferred cooking spray. Now, prepare your shortcake. Melt the butter and set it aside so that it can cool. Whisk your eggs, then add the butter and the rest of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. You want the batter to be thick and a little bit sticky! Pour it into the dish and smooth so that it’s level. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
STEP TWO: While your shortcake cooks, prepare your strawberry crunch topping. Place the Oreos in a Ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crumble them into coarse pieces. Ideally, you want a mixture of very small crumbles and some larger chunks. Place in a medium bowl and pour melted butter a little at a time, making sure to stir between pours. Follow the same process with the gelatin powder. Make sure that the Oreos are completely covered with both!
STEP THREE: Allow the shortcake to cool for 1 hour. Then, spread the cream cheese frosting on top of the cake. Add the strawberry crunch topping along with sliced strawberries (optional, but I love the addition of fresh fruit!). Cut and enjoy!

IS SHORTCAKE THE SAME AS POUND CAKE?
Pound cake gets its name from its ingredients. Traditionally it was made with a pound of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, respectively. Today, the proportions aren’t always the same but the ingredients remain as is. A shortcake is a vanilla cake served with fruit and whipped cream. The two are similar in texture and flavor, but the biggest difference is their ingredients!
