Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
- 3 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, 3/4 cup sugar, and salt.
- Cut in softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually stir in milk until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
- Toss sliced strawberries with remaining sugar and let sit to release juices.
- Whip the cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Slice the cooled shortcake in half horizontally, layer with strawberries and whipped cream, then top with the other half. Finish with additional strawberries and whipped cream.
Notes
- For added flair, consider using coconut cream instead of whipped cream for a tropical twist.
- Ensure your strawberries are ripe for maximum sweetness.
