Ingredients

1 (15 1/4 ounce) package vanilla flavored cake mix
2 cups water, divided
6 large eggs, divided
1 cup canola oil, divided
1 (15 1/4 ounce) package strawberry cake mix
4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
20 speculoos cookies (such as Lotus Biscoff®)
3 cups freeze-dried strawberries
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease four 9-inch round cake pans.
2 Combine vanilla cake mix, 1 cup water, 3 eggs, and ½ cup oil in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Divide batter between 2 prepared cake pans; set aside.
3 Combine strawberry cake mix, remaining each 1 cup water, 3 eggs, and ½ cup oil in a separate bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Divide batter between remaining 2 prepared cake pans.
4 Bake cakes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 24 to 28 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
5 Beat confectioners' sugar and 1 ½ cups butter in a bowl until smooth; beat in heavy cream and vanilla until fluffy.
6 Crush cookies and freeze-dried strawberries in a large resealable plastic bag; add 3 tablespoons butter and shake until strawberry-Biscoff mixture is evenly combined.
7 Place 1 vanilla cake on a cake stand; top with thin layer frosting. Add 1 strawberry cake; top with thin layer frosting. Repeat with remaining cakes, alternating between vanilla and strawberry layers; frost sides of cake. Cover cake completely with strawberry-Biscoff mixture, pressing all over sides and top.
