Delicious, delicious, delicious. Outstanding shortcake! This dessert is so easy to put together and so easy to devour, too! It hardly takes any time at all. Everybody ate it up.

The biscuit is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an amazing butter flavor.

It sops up the strawberry juice perfectly, while still holding its shape and never gets mushy. I love strawberry shortcake and this one is a winner in my book. My friends were in heaven.

Easy & Tasty Strawberry Shortcake

Ingredients

For the strawberries

1 1⁄2 lbs strawberries, stemmed and quartered
3 tablespoons sugar

For the cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
3⁄4 teaspoon salt
1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream

For the whipped cream

1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream, chilled
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Directions

Mix the strawberries with 3 tablespoons of sugar and refrigerate while the juices develop, at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the heavy cream and mix until just combined. Place the mixture in an ungreased 8-inch square pan and bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

Place a metal bowl and beaters in the freezer during the shortcake cooking time.

Remove the shortcake from the pan and place on a rack to cool slightly. Cut into 6 pieces and split each piece in half horizontally.

Mix all the whipped cream ingredients in the metal bowl and whip with the metal beaters about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

Spoon some of the strawberries with their juice onto each shortcake bottom. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and then the shortcake top. Spoon more strawberries over the top and serve.

Enjoy!

This Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake is the best cheesecake I have ever made. It is so creamy and it tastes amazing! This cheesecake is out of this world!

I have had cheesecake factory cheesecake several times and I’ve made this recipe several times also. This recipe is every bit as good if not better than the real thing.

I think you will find the nut crust quite unusual. Sometimes I double the crust portion of the recipe just so I can have a thicker crust.

Mom’s Special Chocolate Cake. So nice to visit my childhood memories! My mom used to make this all of the time! She would just use a double boiler frosting instead of the cream cheese.

I’m going to have to try it with the cream cheese! Oh what wonderful memories!

Sauerkraut is the surprise ingredient and it makes this cake moist and delicious! If you don’t tell anybody what’s in it they will never know. Tastes kind of like a chocolate coconut cake.

This Impossible Coconut Pie is well named. The first time I saw this I thought, how can this turn out as it claims, but it does!!

The flour will settle to the bottom to form a crust, the coconut rises to the top and forms the topping, the center is an egg custard filling.

Impossible! Nope. Works every time plus it’s delicious.

For some reason, guys always seem to go gah-gah over these No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cornflakes Bar. They are very easy to make, and it’s a great way to use up the end of the corn flakes.

I also like this recipe because it uses fewer ingredients than all the other ones I have seen.

They are very tasty, very easy, and very cost efficient. Tastes just like a Crispy Crunch bar!!!

This Peach Brown-Sugar Pie is great recipe that gives a little “oomph” to the standard peach pie. The almond and lemon enhance the flavor of the peaches and the light cinnamon flavor gives it a comfort food feeling.

A very nice twist on a peach pie.

This is a great recipe as is but I do like to brush the top crust with an egg wash and sprinkle ever so slightly with sugar before cutting the vents for a beautiful presentation and lovely browned crust.
