A simple yet indulgent dessert featuring fresh strawberries, a fluffy shortcake, and a light whipped cream topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries by mixing them with sugar and letting them sit for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
