Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, very cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 (10-12 ounce) store-bought angel food cake or pound cake

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
  2. If using store-bought shortcakes, crumble them into bite-sized pieces. If using pound cake, cut or crumble into small pieces.
  3. In serving cups or glasses, layer the crumbled shortcake or pound cake.
  4. Spoon a layer of macerated strawberries and their juices over the cake layer.
  5. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
  6. Repeat layers until cups are filled, ending with a swirl of whipped cream.
  7. Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice and mint leaf if desired.
