Strawberry Shortcake DTI
Light, fluffy Strawberry Shortcake DTI with fresh berries and real whipped cream. Cold tools and sugared strawberries give clean, bakery-style slices.
Ingredients
Method
- Hull and slice strawberries. Toss with 1 tablespoon sugar and rest 5 to 10 minutes.
- Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes.
- Whip heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and vanilla to soft peaks.
- Layer cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Repeat to build height.
- Top with extra berries. Chill 30 to 45 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
For fluffy cream and clean slices, keep tools and ingredients cold. Brush 1 to 2 teaspoons strawberry syrup on sponge layers for extra flavor. For stability, fold in 2 tablespoons mascarpone before whipping. A gluten-free base works well; use syrup sparingly so the crumb stays neat.
