Strawberry shortcake squares are a great dessert; they taste good, they look good and they are pretty easy to make. When there are beautiful strawberries in the store, it is certainly the time to put one together. It is definitely worth it!

New fact about strawberry shortcake:

Strawberry shortcake is now the official state dessert of Florida (where we are from). There are so many of these delicious berries grown in the state in the winter that it earns that title. When we first heard about this, we thought: What about Key Lime Pie? Turns out, that is the official state pie, so all is good.😮‍💨

Sponge cake or biscuits:

We know that this tasty dessert is made with either sponge cake or a biscuit. both are good. Today, we chose to make sponge cake squares that are absolutely delicious. It is made with just four ingredients: eggs, sugar, flour, and baking powder. Baked in a pan and done in about 20 minutes. Let it cool, then add the delicious berries and whipped cream.

Prepping the strawberries:

This is an easy task, just pick out the nicest, juiciest strawberries for the top and leave them whole. Then, take the smaller berries, wash them off, and slice into medium slices to fill the center of the cake. When done, they will sit on a mound of whipped cream.

Whipped cream:

Nothing is better than a billowing layer of whipped cream on a cake. Just take a quart of whipped cream; remember, this covers a whole cake, top and middle. Pour the cream into a bowl or stand mixer; it is better if you can chill the bowl for a few minutes. Whip it until just starting to thicken, then add the confectioners; sugar and beat till medium peaks are reached.

Putting the cake together:

Slice the cake in half, top the bottom layer with whipped cream, then top that with juicy strawberries. Put the top layer on top of the strawberries and cut into squares. Put a strawberry in the center of each square.

Fancy up the squares:

If you want, you can decorate the squares by piping some whipped cream around the top of each square and adding a circle of whipped cream in the center. We used a #21 tip in a piping bag, you can also use a smallish star tube.
