    This Homemade Strawberry Shortcake Recipe is really easy to make, and unlike the way I enjoyed it growing up, this recipe has a homemade cake as the base!

    Growing up in Miami, with a very Southern paternal grandmother, I was all too familiar with the sweet, sweet treat known as Strawberry Shortcake. Truth be told, Strawberry Shortcake is still one of my favorite desserts - and I often enjoy it in the form of ice cream too!

    It's berry season here in South Florida, and Summer time is the BEST time to enjoy a delicious strawberry shortcake! This Homemade Strawberry Shortcake recipe is unlike the traditional shortcake we are all used to.

    You know, the little store bought cake cups that tend to get soggy, or the butter loaf that comes pre-wrapped and full of preservatives. THIS recipe actually includes homemade cake, and for that it is absolutely splendid!

    This Strawberry Shortcake Recipe is cheap to make!

    With minimal ingredients, I spent less than ten bucks and preparation time was super quick. 

    Strawberries are not only full of antioxidants, but they also help lower blood pressure and even increase your good cholesterol!

    So good news is, you don't have to feel so guilty indulging in this delicious treat.

    Strawberry Shortcake Day Recipe

    It has been so quiet lately, I need all the company I can get!  Seems lately when I am asked to bring a dish, everyone has been suggesting I bring the dessert (I'm pretty sure I know why).

    I just LOVE making desserts, especially easy-peasy ones like this. Since it was a rather small get together, I knew this recipe would be perfect as it serves 8 people, and there were 5 friends coming over. So, two lucky people can enjoy the rest!
