A homemade shortcake batter is baked in a sheet cake pan, then topped with smooth whipped cream and a freshly made strawberry topping.

Equipment

  • 9x13 Sheet Pan

Ingredients
 

Shortcake Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Strawberry Topping Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping (thawed)

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating the oven to 400°F. Grab a 9x13 inch sheet pan and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until combined. Add the cold cubes of butter to the flour mixture and combine with your hands or a pastry cutter. The texture should resemble crumbs. 
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, add the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. Add this to the flour mixture and mix everything together until just combined. Don’t over mix, the dough will be thick.
  • Evenly press the dough into the parchment lined sheet pan until about ½ an inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until or until golden brown and cooked all the way through. Let it cool in the pan while working on the topping.
  • In a bowl, add the sliced strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Combine, then cover and let it sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
  • Once the shortcake has completely cooled, spread the whipped cream so it covers the entire cake. Then, spoon the strawberries evenly over the whipped cream. Slice the cake into even squares and serve!

Notes

Storage - Cover and store in the fridge for about 1-2 days, I don’t recommend hanging onto it any longer, it will lose its freshness quickly.
If you’re planning on eating this over a longer period of time, store the cake, whipped cream and strawberries separately, then assemble your cake when you’re ready to eat it. Doing it this way may make it last 3-4 days.
