Classic Strawberry Shortcake
There is something so summery about a Classic Strawberry Shortcake! Â It’s light, fresh and extremely delicious any time of year. Â And it works for any special occasion.Â
And as far as color goes, you can’t get any more beautiful than a dish featuring fresh strawberries!
Any strawberry shortcake recipe starts with fresh strawberries.
I added 1/2 cup of sugar to break down the strawberries and create a soft strawberry with liquid.
What makes this recipe so easy is that you can use any cake recipe you want. I used a pre-made white cake mix that gives it a nice sponge-like consistency.
I cut the cake in half so I could have an inside layer of strawberries and whipped cream.
The top layer is also made up of whipped cream and the strawberry mixture.
It’s that easy.
