Ingredients

1 box strawberry cake mix
3 eggs
1 cup milk (For the cake batter.)
0.5 cup vegetable oil (For the cake batter.)
1 pack Golden Oreos (The transcript says to remove the icing before crushing; leave some chunks in the crushed cookies.)
3 oz strawberry Jell-O (Dry mix.)
0.5 cup unsalted butter (Melted, for the crunch topping.)
12 oz evaporated milk (For the tres leches soak.)
7 oz sweetened condensed milk (For the tres leches soak.)
0.5 cup milk (For the tres leches soak.)
2 cups heavy cream (For the whipped cream.)
0.5 cup powdered sugar (For the whipped cream.)
0.25 tsp strawberry extract (For the whipped cream.)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (For the whipped cream.)

Steps

1
Heat the oven to 325°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch pan as directed in the source; the transcript specifies using a greased pan.
2
Combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Mix until the batter is well combined.
3
Pour the batter into the prepared 9×13-inch pan.
4
Bake at 325°F for 30 minutes. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
5
Prepare the crunch topping while the cake cools. Remove the icing from the Golden Oreos, as stated in the transcript, then crush the cookies while leaving some chunks rather than reducing them entirely to fine crumbs.
6
Add the 3 oz strawberry Jell-O mix and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter to the crushed Golden Oreos. Mix until the cookies are completely coated and the topping is evenly combined.
7
Combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup milk to make the tres leches soak. Mix until combined.
8
Prepare the whipped cream by combining the heavy cream, powdered sugar, strawberry extract, and vanilla bean paste. Whip until fluffy.
9
Once the cake has cooled completely, poke holes all over it with a fork, skewer, or toothpick.
10
Pour all of the tres leches soak over the cake, allowing it to flow into the holes.
11
Spread or layer the fluffy whipped cream over the soaked cake.
12
Top the whipped cream with the strawberry crunch topping.
13
Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 2 hours. The source notes that refrigerating it overnight is even better.

Notes

The post description specifies 1/2 cup oil; the spoken transcript says 1/3 cup, so the post description measurement was followed because it is the primary source. The transcript also specifies removing the Golden Oreo icing and leaving some cookie chunks. Refrigerate overnight for the best soak and texture.
