Learning how to make strawberry shortcake is pretty darn easy, so let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Strawberry Shortcake<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shortening:<\/strong> Our strawberry shortcake recipe uses shortening, as this type of fat retains moisture better than butter for a more tender cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> We\u2019ve found that this type of flour provides the perfect amount of structure and stability to hold the whipped cream and strawberry components without making the cake dry and dense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whole milk:<\/strong> We use whole milk for a rich and soft cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy whipping cream:<\/strong> Whisk the heavy cream to stiff peaks for the perfect dollop. If you&#8217;d like a slightly more flavorful whipped cream, try our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">sweetened whipped cream<\/a> recipe. Or, feel free to use a thawed frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip) to save time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strawberries:<\/strong> Use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using frozen, allow the strawberries to thaw, then drain the excess liquid and gently pat them dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the batter<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1997656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Strawberry-Shortcake-TOHVS19_2732_BL_05_19_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Use a stand mixer to cream the sugar and shortening together until light and fluffy\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p>In a bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the sugar and shortening together until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes.

In old English, a \u201cshortcake\u201d refers to a biscuit-like pastry, so it\u2019s actually a bit more traditional to bake <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/biscuit-strawberry-shortcake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/biscuit-strawberry-shortcake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">biscuit strawberry shortcake<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use other fruits:<\/strong> Sub the same amount of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, nectarines or plums for the strawberries in this recipe to make use of other seasonal fruit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add some extras:<\/strong> You can get really creative here and try pairing a few of your favorite spices or herbs with your strawberries. A touch of cinnamon with strawberries would be delish. And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-chop-fresh-thyme-basil-and-other-common-herbs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-chop-fresh-thyme-basil-and-other-common-herbs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">snip some fresh basil<\/a> or mint and mix it in with berries of any kind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavor the whipped cream:<\/strong> Vanilla whipped cream pairs beautifully with strawberries, but you can easily switch up the flavors with a bit of citrus zest, liqueur or a different kind of extract.

Marinating helps the berries break down and tenderize while soaking up the flavoring liquid. You\u2019re left with a saucy, glossy mixture of super tender strawberries that bring a ton of extra flavor to the strawberry shortcakes.<\/p>\n<p>To make macerated strawberries for this strawberry shortcake recipe, toss the 1-1\/2 quarts strawberries in a large bowl with 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1\/2 cup sugar. Mash the berries gently with a potato masher or a wooden spoon. Let this mixture stand for at least 30 minutes, tossing here and there. If you&#8217;d like, you can even prep the strawberries a day in advance.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you cut strawberries for strawberry shortcake?<\/h3>\n<p>To cut the strawberries, place each berry with stem side down on a cutting board and cut it into 1\/4-inch slices. But before cutting, be sure to wash the berries well, pat them dry and hull them\u2014that\u2019s where a nifty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surlatable.com\/stemgem-strawberry-huller\/667683.html\" data-name=\"www.surlatable.com\/stemgem-strawberry-huller\/667683.html\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"nofollow\">strawberry huller<\/a> comes in handy.

I used 1 TBSP butter & 3 TBSP coconut oil (semi solid) for shortening. . It is reminiscent of the best of a shortbread cookie, but soft enough (care with baking time) to be perfect as a cake!  The dessert did NOT depend on heavily sweetened berries for redemption! Great berries with no sugar, the shortbread, and lightly sweetened whipped cream  were all perfectly balanced and each complimented each other beautifully. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2025-03-27","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Michelle1918"},"reviewBody":"<p>My 11yr old Grandson made this & it was AMAZING!!!
