Strawberry Shortcake

Everyone in my family really like this cake, especially my son.. Strawberry Shortcake is quite big but it doesn‘t take long for it to disappear.

I love strawberries – fresh with cream, in salads like Strawberry Pineapple Fluff Salad or Strawberry Spinach Almond Salad, in No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake and Fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream is a real treat. During the strawberry season I often prepare Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups or Easy Strawberry Nutella Chimichangas for breakfast.

I enjoy spring, sunny weather and fresh strawberries.. I love spending time with my family and friends, enjoying the magical taste of Strawberry Shortcake. Enjoy!

You can prepare this dessert for no reason, whatsoever, but it is also perfect for Mother‘s Day or any other holidays or special occasions.
