Nothing says summer like strawberry shortcake. A favorite dessert of mine since childhood, I love whipping one up for casual summer dinners al fresco. To make the cake above I used two 8-inch round cake pans, but you can also do a single layer cake with a 9″ round cake pan, or drop the batter on a sheet pan for biscuit-style shortcakes. Have fun arranging the strawberries in beautiful patterns. (You can see the way I arranged the strawberries inside below.)Whether you make one big cake or individual biscuits, this dessert is easy, delicious and sure to impress!
Lazy Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
8 servings
Ingredients.
- 2 cups all purpose or unbleached flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method.
- Heat oven to 375°F.
- Grease (not oil) your pan(s) of choice. In large bowl, combine first 4 ingredients.
- Using a cheese grater, grate butter and mix into the bowl until consistency of coarse meal. (This is a great hack anytime a recipe says to “cut in butter”!)
- Add milk and eggs; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spread dough in prepared pan.
- Bake at 375°F for 20-25 mins if using two 8″ pans, or 25-30 minutes for one 9″ pan. Checking with a pick in the center of the cake until it comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- While shortcake is in the oven, whisk cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Wash and slice your strawberries.
- Let the shortcake cool for 10-15 minutes before assembling with strawberries and whipped cream. (If the cake is too hot the whipped cream will run.)
- Serve warm.
For individual shortcakes, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 450°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
*Self-rising flour is not recommended
