Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries
- Sugar
- Shortcake or sponge cake
- Whipped cream
- Optional: vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by washing the fresh strawberries. Remove the green tops and slice them into quarters.
- In a bowl, sprinkle sugar over the sliced strawberries and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to release their juices.
- While the strawberries are macerating, prepare your shortcake or sponge cake. Cut it into small cubes.
- In serving cups, layer the cubed cake at the bottom.
- Add a generous layer of the macerated strawberries on top of the cake.
- Spoon whipped cream over the strawberries, making it as high as you like!
- Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, and finish with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, assemble the cups just before serving. Store components separately in the fridge if you have leftovers.
