Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Mixture
- 1 quart strawberries, sliced
- ¼ cup sugar
Shortcake Layers
- 2 (5-ounce) packages sponge cake dessert cups (total 12 dessert cups)
- 1 (6.5-ounce) can whipped cream, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Set aside 6 whole strawberries to be used as toppers, then hull and slice the remaining strawberries into halves or quarters.
- Sugar the Strawberries: Place the sliced strawberries into a container, sprinkle with sugar, and cover with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the strawberries to release their juices.
- Assemble Shortcakes: Arrange 6 sponge cake dessert cups on a serving plate. Add a generous amount of whipped cream to each cup, then top with a portion of the sugared sliced strawberries. Add the second layer of sponge cake cups, followed by more whipped cream and a reserved whole strawberry on top as a garnish.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries.
- Chill the strawberries sufficiently to enhance the syrupy texture.
- Whipped cream can be substituted with fresh homemade whipped cream for a richer taste.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain the sponge cake texture.
