Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and spray with nonstick baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Stir in melted butter, oil, strawberry jam, freeze-dried strawberry powder (if using), strawberry extract, vanilla extract, and food coloring (if using).
- Fold in half of the flour mixture, add the buttermilk, then sift in the remaining flour and mix until combined.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the Ermine frosting, cook flour, sugar, and salt with milk and vanilla over medium heat, stirring until thickened. Cool the mixture, then beat in room temperature butter until fluffy.
- For the crunch topping, crush golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries, and mix them with melted butter.
- Assemble the cake with layers of frosting and crunch topping, and garnish with fresh strawberries.
- Chill the cake until ready to serve.
