When Strawberries are in the entire season: My teenagers beg me to make “Grandma’s Strawberry Shortcake”! We love this recipe with its texture and taste!
Unlike most strawberry shortcake recipes – this one doesn’t have Angel food cake. It’s more of a Sweetbread texture! It doesn’t get soggy at all, even if it sits in your fridge for a day or two.
It’s not too sweet either – the sweetness comes from the strawberries and not the cake.
Here’s “Grandma’s Strawberry shortcake recipe ” I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine!
This recipe has more of a bread cake vs the typical angel food cake. It stands up well and doesn’t get soggy fast.
