Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

  • Garnish the top with sliced strawberries and sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies for a beautiful finish.
  • Slice the cake into pieces and serve.
