How to Make Strawberry Short Cake
You will need:
- 1 package pillsbury yellow cake mix
- 3eggs
- 1cup water
- 1/3cup softened butter or margarine
Whipped Cream Icing
- 2cups heavy whipping cream
- 2Tbs of granulated sugar
- 1tsp pure vanilla extract
Strawberries
Slice strawberries length wise put in a bowl with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Reserve some unsugared strawberries on the side to decorate top of cake.
In a large bowl mix together cream, sugar and vanilla with a hand held mixer until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
*Follow directions on box for cooking instructions: I used a 8in. round pan
Once the cake has baked and cooled completely, horizontally cut across middle of the cake with a serrated knife so you end up with two layers of cake.
Begin to pipe cream in a circular motion until the top layer of cake is covered. Next evenly distribute sugared strawberries on top of cream, then repeat by layering more cream to cover strawberries.
Top the first layer of filled cake with the second layer of cake. Next spread cream icing all around the cake until covered. Decoratively lay sliced strawberries on top layer of cake, then pipe cream all over using a star tip.
Refrigerate asap when finished.
