Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Vanilla cake or pound cake – homemade or store-bought both work well
  • Sugar – lightly sweetens the strawberries
  • Fresh strawberries chopped – the star of the dessert
  • Heavy whipping cream – light and fluffy topping
  • Powdered sugar – gentle sweetness
  • Vanilla extract – adds depth

Method
 

  1. Chop fresh strawberries and toss them with a little sugar. Let them sit for 15–20 minutes until juicy and syrupy.
  2. Use a small round cutter or knife to cut the cake into mini rounds or cubes. This works beautifully for both Mini Strawberry Cake layers and cup-style desserts.
  3. Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Keep chilled until ready to assemble.
  4. Layer cake, strawberries, and whipped cream in small cups, jars, or glasses. These are perfect as Individual Strawberry Shortcake servings with clean, beautiful layers.
