A deliciously simple dessert of fluffy shortcake layered with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Macerate the Strawberries: In a bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with the sugar and set aside to macerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. Cut in the Butter: Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Mix in the Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Shape the Shortcakes: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  8. Cool and Slice: Allow the shortcakes to cool slightly before slicing them in half.
  9. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the macerated strawberries onto each shortcake, add whipped cream, and place the other half on top.

Notes

For best results, use cold ingredients and avoid overworking the dough.
