- Once the cake has baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
Topping
- As the cake cools, prepare the topping. Remove cream from the middle of the golden Oreos then add them to a zip bag along with freeze dried strawberries. Then, use a rolling pin or blunt object to crush the ingredients into crumb texure. Next, add melted butter to the bag and shake until combined.
