In elementary school it was a huge treat to be able to buy something from the ice cream cart. Every day they would tote it out and it would have different treats on it. Once a week I would get money to buy an ice cream and it was the best day of the week.
Since the ice cream wasn't always the same it was a huge treat whenever they had Strawberry Scooter Crunch Bars. A lot of my friends liked the chocolate ones but I was a fan of the strawberry.
Strawberry Scooter Bars are basically strawberry ice cream wrapped in vanilla ice cream with strawberry crunch on the outside. They are the perfect bite of summer.
So when I saw a recipe for a cake with these same flavors I was so excited. I doubted that anything could touch my memory of the original but I was willing to give it a try.
The first thing I did was make the crunch topping. I figured with it only being three ingredients there was no way it would taste like the scooter crunch I remembered.
Golden Oreos are crushed in a food processor until they are in little pieces then the butter and jello is mixed in. Then the mixture is baked.
When it came out of the oven I took a bite to see how it was. I was SHOCKED that it tasted exactly like strawberry scooter crunch! In fact I couldn't stop eating it. Thankfully there was plenty so I was able to eat some and still have enough for the cake.
Strawberry Crunch Bars are made by the Hershey's Ice Cream. They are strawberry ice cream covered with vanilla ice cream topped off with a strawberry cake crunch.
The only flavors you can use are yellow, white, or vanilla cake as you want a plain flavor so that the strawberry will shine through. You could use a strawberry mix but it may overpower the strawberry crunch.
Once you put the Cool Whip frosting on the cake you'll need to cover it and put it in the refrigerator. It will last up to 4 days. Don't put the topping on until you are ready to eat it. Although it's best eaten within a few hours you can cover the top with the crunch topping on it and store it in the refrigerator.
Once the crunch was made I baked the cake. I chose to go with a yellow cake mix because I like the texture better than a white cake mix.
With the cake mix two-thirds of it stays the yellow or white cake flavor while strawberry jam is mixed into the other third. The strawberry batter is swirled on the top then the cake is baked.
Once the cake has cooled the sweet Cool Whip frosting is spread over the entire cake. Then the strawberry crunch is sprinkled over the top.
This cake is so good! Ok, actually it's the frosting and topping that are so good. The cake is fine but the topping is what makes it.
I took it to Easter and my family raved about it. My cousin said it tasted like ice cream day in elementary school. Everyone at my work couldn't get enough of the strawberry crunch topping.
