Ingredients
- 1 quart strawberries, sliced
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 (5-ounce) packages sponge cake dessert cups, total of 12 dessert cups
- 1 (6.5-ounce) can whipped cream, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry the strawberries. Set aside 6 strawberries to use as toppers. Hull and slice the remaining into halves or quarters.
- Place the sliced strawberries into a container, toss with sugar, and place a lid on top. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.
- Place 6 dessert cake cups onto a different serving plate. Add whipped cream to each sponge cake and top with the sliced strawberries. Add the second sponge cake and top off with more cream and a strawberry.
Notes
- Recipe Tips.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. The cakes will absorb moisture from the cream and juicy strawberries, but they are still edible.
- For this recipe, we make 6 double-layer cakes but sometimes do 12 smaller single-layer shortcakes.
- We like to use canned whipped cream because it's easy to apply with a textured design, or you can put Cool Whip in a piping bag with a textured tip.
- To keep the strawberries from becoming too soft and juicy we only sit them in sugar for about 30 minutes and I never use frozen strawberries.
- Do not assemble too far in advance otherwise the sponge cakes will absorb the moisture from the cream and berries.
