Another day celebrating something that is just what it sounds like - a shortcake made with strawberries.
Shortcakes are a type of cake or, in the American usage, biscuit, which are crumbly breads that have been leavened with baking powder or baking soda. They are primarily made from sugar, flour, butter, milk or cream, salt, the baking powder or soda and, sometimes, eggs.
In this version of the shortcake, sliced strawberries are mixed with sugar and left to sit. They are then placed between two layers of shortcake, along with whipped cream, and more whipped cream and strawberries are added to the top of the cake.
Other variations of the strawberry shortcake do not actually use shortcake, but sponge cake instead. The original, American recipes used pie crust instead of sponge cake or shortcake.
