Spread (it will be thick, not pourable) the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan.

Heavy whipping cream – If you prefer, you can use a tub of Cool Whip.

Leave some berries whole and cut others in half.

Strawberries – Being that these are the star of the show, be sure to find gorgeous, plump, ripe berries! For a pretty presentation, do not hull the garnish berries.

You can do it the other way too! Zest your lemon, then juice it and freeze the juice in ice cube trays.

Lemon zest – We will zest lemons before juicing and slicing for other recipes and often have zest in the freezer.

We have not tested this recipe with dairy free milks. Milk – For the best cake we recommend whole milk, but you can use 2% instead.However, it’s common knowledge that you can swap shortening for butter and vice versa in baking. We have not tried substituting with butter. Shortening – Regular or butter flavored should be fine.All ingredients and measurements are listed there. And because of that, the layers truly hold up to the juicy strawberries like strawberry shortcake should.īecause this version is a whole cake rather than individual servings, I find it so much better when serving to multiple guests.Īfter reading through the instruction you can print the recipe at the end of the post. However, the texture of the cake is more like a biscuit than a pillowy, sponge cake. This is a shortcake cake, not individual biscuits.

This “from scratch” cake recipe is worth the little bit of extra effort and is actually quite easy. Instead of individual strawberry shortcakes, this recipe is perfect for a party or a crowd. Biscuit-like cake layers combined with sweet macerated strawberries and fresh whipped cream make this beautiful dessert a true show stopper.
