- 4
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let the cake cool for a few hours. Then slice evenly in half right before assembling so it stays moist. You will turn the top layer upside down when frosting

Combine strawberries, sugar, and vanilla in a container.

Return the mixture to the fridge to chill until ready to use.

Place cold cream cheese in a bowl with a whisk attachment and whisk briefly.
- 10
Add remaining vanilla, cold cream, and powdered sugar. Scrape down sides as needed.
- 11
Whisk until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over mix to avoid it becoming watery.
- 12
Separate the icing in half if you wish to add food dye for the top layer only, or add food dye at this point.
- 13
Using a colander, drizzle all of the juices from the strawberries over the bottom and top cake
- 14
Return strawberries to their container and mix in at least 1/2 -1 cup of strawberry jam.
- 15
Pipe decorative frosting around the edge of the bottom cake layer.
- 16
Fill inside with less than half of the strawberries, leaving enough for the top.
- 17
Pipe more frosting over the strawberries, reserving enough for the top decoration.
- 18
Flip the top cake layer upside down to reveal the sponge on top. Press slightly onto the bottom layer.
- 19
Pipe a short ring of frosting around the edges, and a thin layer over the top, place remaining strawberries in the center.
- 20
Pipe a taller decorative ring around the outside to secure strawberries in the center. Use as much whipped cream as possible.

Use remaining frosting for extra decorative features.
- 22

I have only had a couple of decent strawberry shortcakes in my lifetime. Why? I don’t know. I always loved it since childhood, but I never actively went out of my way to find it or make it. So, I had to get my life together and make a change. Now, I found this method from an New York Times article on the internet. I made some adjustments to suit my palate and make it my own, but I’ve got to give the credit to Nancy Harmon Jenkins. Thank you. Karl -
