How To Make Strawberry Shortcake

Prepare your sliced, fresh strawberries by adding some granulated sugar and allowing them to rest in the refrigerator to become a little bit juicier. You can make shortcake using Bisquick for a more biscuit-like cake, or use a boxed yellow cake mix for a more familiar flavor. When the cake of your choice is ready, you can split the cake in half and begin assembling the dessert. Layer some strawberries on top of the bottom layer of cake and top them with whipped cream. Place the second layer of cake on top and finish off the cake with some more whipped cream and strawberries, or dust with powdered sugar. In this video, Chef Susie provides an online cooking lesson for baking a delicious strawberry shortcake. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
