A delightful ode to summer featuring sweet strawberries, buttery layers of cake, and fluffy whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup additional granulated sugar for strawberries
  • Whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease and flour a baking sheet.
  2. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring just until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently to form a cohesive mass.
  6. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut it into rounds.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Prepare the sliced strawberries with additional sugar and let them sit to release juices.
  9. To serve, slice the cooled shortcakes in half, layer with strawberries, and top with whipped cream.

Notes

For flakier shortcakes, ensure your butter and cream are cold. Avoid overworking the dough for light, airy results.
