Strawberry shortcake is one of my all time favorite desserts. Growing up my mom would buy packages of little yellow shortcakes. As an adult watching ingredients, I can’t bring myself to buy them. I’ve tried all different kinds of biscuit-type shortcakes, but nothing was quite the same as those little yellow cakes.
I had an “ah ha” moment a few weeks ago when I realized I could use CAKE for the short cake! I’m not sure what it took me years to figure that out. At first I thought I’d try yellow cake, but I decided to use a French vanilla cake instead. And then in a moment of nostalgic weakness I bought a shortcake maker (which, by the way, is the only thing I’ve ever found that is NOT available on Amazon.com!).
And it made these adorable little shortcakes! I LOVE THEM!
But this pan would work, too. Because you need a pan/gadget that’s useful for one thing only, right? But it’s FUN!
Oh, wait, you can get 3 of these for the same price! Not as cute, but definitely more efficient since you can bake more than six at a time if you have 2-3 pans.
ANYWAY, my point is that you can easily make your very own shortCAKES at home! If you don’t have or want a fancy pan, just bake the cake in a square 8×8 or 9×9 pan and cut in to squares. This cake recipe I used is to die for. It is so good it’s ridiculous. I can’t wait to use it as cake, cake.
