GREAT, but we like a lot more juice with the strawberries. Solution: 1 or 2 boxes (yes boxes frozen strawberries, thawed and blended in a blender. (Frozen strawberries in the bag are not sweetened. Add fresh sliced strawberries to the blended strawberry juice and YUMMY, everyone's happy! EASIER BISCUITS: Use the recipe on the BISQUICK box (or Bisquick Lite and add 1 teaspoon vanilla. I also add blueberries and blackberries to the strawberries and it's BERRY SHORTCAKE. Use Redi-whip or vanilla ice cream if you're in a time crunch.

My Mother's family came from England and settled in the Appalacian Mts. in North Carolina. She made two round cake-size biscuits from the raw dough. She slathered one with real butter (unsalted and put the other round on top. She baked it and cut it into pie-shaped wedges. It fell apart naturally where the butter had been spread. Then she put the macerated strawberries and heavy cream between the layers and on top. When I was young, we always picked and used wild strawberries. What I would give...
The biscuit has to be good! I think if you use buttermilk or milk instead of the cream, you would need to cut two or three Tbsps.butter or shortening into the flour. Mother was famous for her shortcake, but I can't get right. I will try this one tonight.
One last word: You can put strawberries on angel food cake or sponge cake, but don't call it strawberry shortcake!

strawberry shortcake is traditionally supposed to have a cake that isn't sweet, and more like a biscuit. buttermilk can be substituted for the heavy cream for something lighter.

The shortcake was terrible. I followed the recipe and it was not good at all. Strawberries were perfect and the whip cream was great, but the actual cake was horrible.

Delicious, very easy to make. My only problem is if someone could find an alternative to using so much heavy cream for this recipe because I felt sick after eating a slice with the whipped topping (so worth it though. The strawberries taste perfect after 30 min in the fridge (I've had people argue they usually do it over night but the leftovers became limp and sad.

I was initially worried by the volume of dough the recipe yielded since it didn't seem enough for three or four people, but the cake rose beautifully in the oven. I like the lemon zest-it made the cake taste a little bit like strawberry lemonade.

I made this for my roommate and myself, and she enjoyed it so much she only had time to say "wow" while eating it. Next time, I think I will make several smaller cakes as opposed to a single large one to allow for easier service.

It was my first time making strawberry shortcake and I was worried about the biscuit part but it was very easy and good! I ended up doubling the biscuit recipe and made two pans of biscuits and put the strawberries and cool whip in between rather than cutting it up. Will definitely make it again!

Super easy to make, takes minutes except for baking time. And I must agree with a lot of the other reviews on here... I'll NEVER buy whip cream from the freezer ever again! This was super easy, super tasty!
