Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease 8x8 baking dish.
Strawberry Topping
Combine strawberries and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Refrigerate covered until ready to serve. A syrup will develop over time.
Shortcakes
In a medium mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
Gradually blend in heavy cream and vanilla until combined and no longer crumbly.
Bake 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Whipped Cream
In a medium mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually add in powdered sugar until just combined.
Assemble
Slice shortcake into squares or use a cookie or biscuit cutter to create shapes. Top with a scoop of whipped cream and strawberry topping.
Notes
Try using different shaped cookie cutters to match the occasion - hearts, stars, easter eggs, etc...
Add different fruits with the strawberries for a mixed berry flavor - blueberries will make a cute patriotic looking dessert.
Top with your favorite ice cream for an extra sweet treat.
