Strawberry Short Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

All-Purpose Flour – 2 ¼ Cups
White Sugar – ½ Cup
Fresh Strawberries – 3 Pints
Egg – 1
Milk – 2/3 Cup
Whipped Cream – 2 Cups
Baking Powder – 2 Teaspoons
Salt – ¼ Teaspoon
Shortening – 1/3 Cup

Method of Making Strawberry Short Cake:

• First, slice the strawberries and toss them along with the ½ Cup of White Sugar. Put this aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 Degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease and flour a round cake pan.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, the salt and the 2 table spoons of white sugar. Use a pastry blender to cut the shortening till it becomes crumbs. Add this to the mixture.
• Beat the egg lightly and fold it into the mixture and then add the milk.
• Pour this mixture into the greased and floured cake pan and bake at 425 Degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes till the cake is golden brown.
• Let the cake cool down. Then slice the cake into two halves and make two layers.

Garnishing:

Place strawberries on one slice, and then top it with the other slice. Put strawberries on the top as well, and cover with cream. You can also pour strawberry juice on top of the shortcake before serving.
