Description
Layer cakes or single-layer shortcakes with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Best served fresh to prevent sponge cakes from absorbing too much moisture.
Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries
- Whipped cream (canned or Cool Whip)
- Sponge cakes or shortcakes (store-bought or homemade)
- Sugar for macerating strawberries
Instructions
- Slice fresh strawberries and toss with sugar for about 30 minutes.
- Prepare sponge cakes or shortcakes.
- Layer cakes with whipped cream and strawberries, ending with whipped cream on top.
- Do not assemble too far in advance to avoid soggy sponge.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
Notes
Use only fresh strawberries. Avoid assembling too early to maintain texture. Canned whipped cream or Cool Whip can be used with a piping bag for design.
