2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla essence

Directions:
Prepare the Cake Batter:
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a bundt or loaf pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Stir in the vanilla essence.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Strawberry Crunch Topping:
In a small bowl, combine crushed freeze-dried strawberries, crushed golden Oreo cookies, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Make the Glaze:
In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla essence until smooth.
Assemble:
