Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
⅓ cup milk
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the melted butter, egg, and milk, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the shortcake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely in the pan.
While the shortcake cools, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar in a bowl. Toss them gently and let them macerate for about 10-15 minutes until juicy.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
Once the shortcake has cooled, carefully remove it from the pan. Cut it into squares or bars. Layer each piece with a generous spoonful of strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream topping.
Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for about an hour if you prefer a chilled treat.
