30 mins
Chill the assembled strawberry shortcake in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (Minimum 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld)
For a richer flavor, consider using a cream cheese frosting instead of whipped topping.
To prevent the cake from becoming soggy, assemble the shortcake shortly before serving.
Get creative with the fruit arrangement! You can add raspberries for extra red, or use a star-shaped cookie cutter to make strawberry stars.
For an extra layer of flavor, brush the cooled cake with a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves) before frosting.

Aug 5, 2024The whipped topping was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I used a lightly sweetened cream cheese frosting instead. It was perfect!
