Creamy Strawberry Shortcakes Recipes

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Slice the strawberries and toss them with 1/2 cup of white sugar. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease and flour one 8 inch round cake pan.
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons white sugar and the salt. With a pastry blender cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and milk. Stir until just combined.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool partially in pan on wire rack.
• Slice partially cooled cake in half, making two layers. Place half of the strawberries on one layer and top with the other layer. Top with remaining strawberries and cover with the whipped cream.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH CHEESECAKE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Mix 1 1/2 quarts strawberries and white sugar in a large bowl; gently mash strawberries with a potato masher. Cover and refrigerate.
• Beat cream cheese in a bowl until light and fluffy; set aside. Beat heavy cream in another bowl until soft peaks form; add whipped cream cheese and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Beat confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture.
• Layer about half the angel food cake in a large bowl or trifle. Spread a third of the cream cheese mixture over the cake and top with a layer of mashed strawberries. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of the cream cheese mixture. Arrange the remaining 1/2 quart strawberry slices decoratively. Chill until ready to serve.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• 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. Cut into 6 pieces and split each piece in half horizontally.
• 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.
• Using a mixer, beat the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until soft peaks form, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

STRAWBERRY SOUR CREAM SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Into a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the salt. Add the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons chilled butter. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the cream cheese and butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Break the egg into a measuring cup, and beat lightly with a fork. Add enough milk to make 3/4 cup. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture, and stir. Knead the dough inside the bowl just until it is blended and cohesive, about 20 seconds.
• Shape half of the dough into a flattened ball, and place in a greased 8 round cake pan. Pat the dough flat to the edges of the pan. Brush the top of the dough with the melted butter. Shape the remaining dough into a flattened ball, and place in the pan on the buttered dough, patting flat to the edges. Bake until golden brown, about 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Place the sliced strawberries in a mixing bowl, add sugar to taste, and mix well. Place the sour cream in a small bowl, and add sugar to taste, mixing to blend well. To serve, remove the cake from the pan, and use a knife to help pry the layers apart; they should split naturally where the dough had been buttered. Place the bottom layer on a serving plate, and top with sweetened strawberries. Place the second layer over the strawberries, and top with sweetened sour cream. Serve immediately.
