Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans. Set them aside.

Prepare the cake base: Follow the instructions on the box of cake mix or your homemade recipe. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

Bake the cake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until you have a smooth, creamy frosting.

Prepare the crunch topping: In a food processor, crush the Golden Oreos (or graham crackers) and freeze-dried strawberries. Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and combined.

Assemble the cake: Place the first cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting over the cake. Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.

Add the crunch topping: Sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping evenly on top of the frosted cake, gently pressing to secure it.

Optional garnish: Garnish with fresh strawberries or edible flowers for a beautiful and elegant presentation.
