Ingredients
1 small loaf of pound cake store-bought or homemade
16 oz. strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup water
1 pint heavy whipping cream 拏
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Strawberries:
Slice the strawberries into small bite-sized pieces.
Combine them with sugar and water in a large bowl. Stir well and let them sit to create a syrup, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Make the Whipped Cream:
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
3. Assemble the Mini Shortcakes:
Cut the pound cake into small cubes.
In small glass containers or serving glasses, start layering:
Add a few cubes of pound cake to the bottom.
Spoon over some of the strawberries with syrup.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
Repeat the layers, finishing with a sliced strawberry on top for garnish.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tips:
Pound Cake: You can use store-bought pound cake or make your own. Slice it into cubes to fit your serving glasses.
Whipped Cream: Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are cold for the best results when whipping cream.
Layering: For a neat presentation, use clear glasses to show off the beautiful layers.
