If you loved those strawberry shortcake crunch ice cream bars as a kid, you’ll LOVE this Strawberry Crunch Poke Cake! A moist and soft strawberry poke cake with a fluffy whipped cream frosting and a strawberry crunch topping!

Surprise, another poke cake recipe!

I know I just posted one, but I couldn’t help it – this one was too good not to post immediately. Like, STAT.

I didn’t realize, but I was apparently inspired by childhood ice cream treats because my last big baking day, I did not one, but two ice cream-inspired desserts. Stay tuned for the next one because like this one, it is equally delicious and game changing!

This cake reminds me of those quintessential childhood strawberry shortcake crunch ice cream bars – you know the ones with the crunchy strawberry shortcake topping on the outside of the ice cream bar? This has that same crunchy element but on top of the cake! The crunch adds a delightful texture to this cake since the cake is very moist – almost like a tres leches cake.

The Poke Cake

The cake itself is a white cake that you bake up with the usual ingredients: cake mix, eggs, oil, water. Bake it and let it cool completely, then poke holes all over the top with a fork and pour over your strawberry gelatin mixture. The mixture is just strawberry gelatin, boiling water to dissolve it, and some cold water to help bring it to temp. Cover the cake and let it set for a little bit, preferably overnight, in the fridge to really allow that strawberry gelatin mixture time to seep into the cake and transform it into a magical poke cake!

The Frosting

The frosting is to-die for – a mixture of cream cheese and whipped cream to offset some of the sweetness with an edge of tanginess from the cream cheese. Just beat together some cream cheese to whip it up, then whip some heavy cream, vanilla and confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold the two together and spread it over the cake! Easy!

The Topping

The topping is quite possibly, and no offense to the rest of the cake, the best part and is the nostalgic piece for me! It consists of coarsely crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter, and more strawberry gelatin powder mixed together until it gets all combined and perfect. It tastes JUST like the ice cream bars but better, in my humble opinion! It really adds a great texture to this ultra moist and soft cake!

Sweet, moist, creamy, smooth and bursting with sweet strawberry flavor, you’re going to love this nostalgic Strawberry Crunch Poke Cake!

Strawberry Crunch Poke Cake

This Strawberry Crunch Poke Cake is seriously AMAZING and reminiscent of those nostalgic childhood ice cream bars! A moist and soft strawberry poke cake with a strawberry shortcake crunch topping!
Prep Time4 hrs 40 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time5 hrs 5 mins
Course: Cake, Cakes/Cupcakes
Cuisine: American, Dessert

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • One (15.25) box white cake mix, plus ingredients on back of box to prepare white cake
  • 3 oz box strawberry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water

For the Frosting:

  • 8 oz (One package) cream cheese, softened
  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:

  • 18-20 Golden Oreos, coarsely crushed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 oz box strawberry gelatin powder
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish, optional but recommended

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° degrees F. Liberally grease a 9x13 light metal rectangular baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. Prepare your cake mix according to package directions for a white cake. Add the cake batter to the prepared pan and bake according to package instructions (around 22-25 minutes or a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean). Cool completely, then poke holes all over the cake using the tines of a fork.
  • In a small pitcher, combine the first box of a strawberry gelatin and the boiling water and whisk until powder is dissolved. Add in the cold water and whisk in until incorporated. Pour the liquid gelatin mixture evenly over the holes on the cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight, to set.
  • For the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese with the paddle attachment until smooth and fluffy, about 30 seconds - 1 minute. Scrape out and set aside in a medium bowl. Add the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla to the original stand mixer bowl and switch to using the whisk attachment. Whisk on high speed for approximately 5-7 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream mixture until no streaks of cream cheese remain and everything is evenly incorporated. Spread the frosting over the chilled cake in an even layer. Set aside.
  • For the topping: Combine the coarsely crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter, and second box of strawberry gelatin powder (just the dry powder) in a medium bowl until combined and thoroughly coated. Drop handfuls of the mixture evenly over the frosted cake and press to adhere to the frosting. Top with fresh strawberries, if desired. Store any leftover cake covered in the fridge. The longer the cake sets in the fridge, the topping will soften some.

    This cake is amazing!! I made it last weekend and am tempted to make another this weekend! Not as sweet as you’d assume when making it but the perfect amount! I was wondering is this cake freezable? Would love to freeze some slices for future cravings since the cake is quite big!

    This was delicious! Everyone loved it. I had a hard time with the whipped cream, though. I couldn’t get stiff peaks to form and eventually gave up and got some cool whip. Rookie mistake I’m sure. I was disappointed with that as I was looking forward to homemade frosting and the cake needed firmer frosting. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong?

      Hi Karen, did you mix it by hand? It definitely takes awhile by hand and even with a hand mixer. A stand mixer is the way to go! You used heavy whipping cream, correct?

      Karen, anyone I make whipped start out with a chilled metal bowl. Just stick in the dresser for a few min or the fridge for an hour to chill it. Definitely use a mixer with whisk attachment. Hope this helps!

            Hi Diana, I wouldn’t recommend putting it in the freezer. I would say 4 hours is the minimum.

      The same thing happened to me. I had to actually use 4 cups of powdered sugar and a tablespoon of conrstarch to thicken it up. Plus, it takes less time for the icing to stiff than what is stated in the recipe. If you mix it for 8-9 minutes, it will become too runny and overmixed. I think the recipe may be off a little bit on the frosting.

        Hi Alex, you could definitely divide the cake batter among two 9″ round pans, then poke holes over the two separate cakes and divide the Jello mixture among the two cakes to “poke.”

    I have made this cake twice now with plans to make it for years ahead.
    The only thing I changed was I whipped the cream cheese with the powdered sugar. This made it thinner so that it was easier to fold into the whipped cream and vanilla.
    My husband is so picky about desserts and he said he wants this for his bday cake from now until forever.

    I am currently in the middle of making this for our Mother’s Day dinner with family at my in laws. Cake is cooling, Jello mixture is waiting to be poured on, frosting made, just have to finish making the topping which I’ll probably hold off on doing until it’s closer to when we have to leave.

      Just realized this comment is today! While I wasn’t the one that made the recipe, if you are buying store bought frosting I would guesstimate Betty Crocker Whipped Cream Cheese frosting would be the closest match. Honestly the cake part and the crumble are SO good, that in a pinch you probably can’t go wrong with any cream cheese frosting, or even vanilla. We’ve all been there! Enjoy your cake 🙂

        If I use Cool Whip instead, would I use an 8 oz or a 16 oz container?

    I made this for a pool party today and it was such a hot that I felt it needed a review. I let it sit overnight and by the day it was perfect. Everyone said this was so moist and perfect amount of flavor and I’m going to have to make it again. Thank you for an easy and amazing cake

    Big hit here. Husband was a little cranky about not eating till the next day but was very happy when he had it for lunch…apparently couldnt wait for dinner. I could only find golden with lemon filling but it still tasted great. Took some for my parents and after lots of mmm ahhhs and yums my mom had me send her the recipe. Shes a amazng baker so thats a big compliment.

    Do you pour the gelatin liquid all over the cake and it goes into the holes or do you only pour it into the holes in the cake? Thanks!

      Hi Nicole, sorry for the delay. Yes, you pour it all over the cake and it will inevitably seep into the holes.

    I didn’t have any trouble with the frosting. This was delicious and got RAVE reviews at my work potluck! This cake was the first thing to go. Thank you for the recipe!

    I’ve made this 3 times now —so great! This most recent time I had a special request to make it vanilla instead of strawberry so I used a Funfetti cake, condensed milk instead of jello on the poke part, and skipped the jello in the crumble mix and kept it to golden Oreos and butter. It all worked like a charm!

    Hi, going to try tanking this but we live in Australia! Is Strawberry gelatine the same as strawberry jelly crystals? Like the box you use to make jelly? Thanks

      Hi Andrea, I believe so but I cannot say for certain.

    Made this cake several times it’s delicious! My husband asked for this cake for his birthday but asked me to put bananas in it. Here comes strawberry banana crunch cake! Made recipe as is but added a box of prepared but not set yet banana cream pudding on top of cake after pouring strawberry jello on it then a layer of bananas finished off was per recipe. OMG it was amazing everyone LOVED IT! Thank you so much for your recipe we love it.

    Yet another fabulous recipe, Hayley – thank you! Perfect as written…turned out exactly like the picture. I did take try pouring sweetened condensed milk over half with the Jello as an experiment. Both delicious, but prefer your original recipe.
