🧂 Ingredients

1 1 store-bought Sponge Cake or Angel Food Cake

(you can find these in the bakery section)
1 pound Fresh Strawberries

hulled and sliced
1 cup store bought Whipped Cream or Whipped Topping
2 tbsp Granulated Sugar

optional- this is for sweating the strawberries
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

optional- for flavoring of whipped cream / topping
Mint

for garnishing
Powdered Sugar

for garnishing

Instructions

1 In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with sugar (if desired) and let them
sit for about 15 minutes. The sugar will help release juices from
the strawberries and create a sweet syrup.
2 If you're using plain whipped cream, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract
to enhance the flavor. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks if it's not
pre-whipped.
3 Carefully slice the store-bought sponge cake or angel food cake into individual
serving-sized portions. You can use a serrated knife for this.
4 Place one slice of cake on a serving plate. Spoon some of the
macerated strawberries (strawberries soaked in their juices) on top of the cake.
5 Dollop a generous amount of whipped cream on top of the strawberries.
6 Place another slice of cake on top of the whipped cream, creating a sandwich
effect.
7 Add more macerated strawberries on top of the second cake layer and garnish with
an extra dollop of whipped cream.
8 Serve your store-bought strawberry shortcake immediately. You can optionally
garnish with a whole strawberry or mint leaves for a decorative touch.
