New England Style Strawberry Shortcake

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6 -8 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Shortcake:
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¾ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • For the Berries:
  • 2 cups Strawberries
  • 1 cup Blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar
  • For the Whipped Cream:
  • 1 ¼ cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste or Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • First, prepare the shortcake. Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Then grease an eight-inch cake pan.
  • Place the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, eggs, and whipping cream in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. The cake batter should have a dough-like consistency.
  • Pour the batter into the cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  • While the shortcake bakes, hull and slice the strawberries. Combine the strawberries, blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. This will make the berries extra juicy.
  • To make the whipped cream combine the remaining whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl in an electric mixer. Beat on a medium speed until the whipped cream forms soft peaks.
  • Once the shortcake has cooled, slice it in half. Add a thick layer of whipped cream. Spoon the berries on top. Add the second layer of cake on top and decorate with another dollop of whipped cream and some berries. Serve right away.
