Great, easy shortcake recipe! I used a heart shaped pan (since it's almost Valentine's Day) and found frozen, unsweetened and sliced strawberries to go along with. Just thaw the strawberries and add the sugar and macerate for a while - totally spectacular dessert!

Shortcake is delectable - so is pound cake if you're in a hurry

Sliced frozen strawberries generally have their own sweetened syrup and don't need additional sugar. Plain butter pound cake is a great substitute for shortcake :)

Why bother looking at this recipe if all you're going to do is go to the store and buy something someone else already made? This is for people that like to cook and present their friends and family with home made love and goodness. This recipe sounds awesome, and it's going to be made from scratch not preservatives....love to you and yours!

You might note that the recipe states fresh or frozen berries! When out of season, frozen berries are a quick substitute... and I make my pound cake from scratch, thank you very much :)
