1 hour Strawberry Shortcake

June 30, 2017

  • 179

Summertime calls for fresh strawberries…. always!   

They are so juicy and sweet this time of year and that means there is no better time to make this 1-hour strawberry shortcake recipe.

No better time to enjoy them, than on this delicious cake.

Some cakes take lots of time and fussing to make,

not this strawberry shortcake, it’s ready in an hour.

Which I really think is PERFECT for so many occasions, perfect for when you have some company coming over and need to feed a crowd, perfect to send to the office if there is some celebrating going on. Perfect for summer BBQ’s, throw on a few blueberries if you want to make more patriotic, and well if you know me at all it’s just perfect to make for after dinner…

that way there will be PLENTY of leftovers to enjoy for breakfast… for days.

What?!? it’s fruit and fruit and milk are perfect for breakfast and…

really cake, waffles, pancakes are all similar so

I say it’s perfect for breakfast…

like I said this is THE PERFECT CAKE anytime… really.

Oh you know you want to dig a fork right into this slice of cake and eat it… I know you do 🙂

You can serve the cake on a tray, or right out of the pan.

You don’t even need to use a knife if you don’t want to you can stand around the kitchen with forks if you prefer!

This cake is sturdy and delicious, it’s not a light fluffy cake, it holds up really well to the whipped cream and strawberries. The cake does not get soggy, which is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to fresh strawberries on a cake, I don’t like it all mushy. I don’t really prefer angel food cake with fruit for that reason, as its only good if you make it and serve it immediately.

And then what would I have for breakfast?!?

13x9 vanilla sheet cake with whipped cream and strawberries on top

Strawberry smoothie is another great recipe using fresh strawberries!

Strawberry Curd, OMG great on so many baked items, it like pudding.

Strawberry Basil Lemon Smash, so delicious.

    Hi Diane ,
