- 1 1/2 kg strawberries, stemmed and quartered
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups cream

- Whipped Cream:
- 1 1/2 cups cream, chilled
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- Using a mixer, beat the cream, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until soft peaks form, about 1 1/2 to 2 minute.
Cooking Directions
Mix strawberries with 3 tablespoons sugar and refrigerate while juices develop, at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
Add heavy cream and mix until just combined. Place mixture in an ungreased 8-inch square pan and bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.
Remove shortcake from pan and place on a rack to cool slightly.
Spoon some of the strawberries with their juice onto each shortcake bottom.
Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and then the shortcake top. Spoon more strawberries over the top and serve
