Ingredients
Shortcake
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 8 tablespoons cold butter cubed
- 1 cup milk 2% or whole
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Strawberry Filling
- 2 pounds strawberries hulled and quartered
- 1 medium lemon zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 3 (9-inch) round cake pans.
- In a food processor, mix together flour, powdered sugar, baking powder and salt. Add in butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Pour in the milk and heavy cream and pulse until a sticky dough forms.
- Divide dough into 3. Press into the bottom of the prepared pans into a flat, smooth layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until tops begin to turn a golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, add strawberries to a large mixing bowl and toss together with lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar.
- Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract using either a hand or stand mixer until the cream forms stiff peaks.
- Assemble cake once completely cooled with strawberries and whipped cream between each layer. Store in fridge.
