EASY CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Please See Other Recipes

I made this Easy Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake last week when my daughter Olivia was home from University in Toronto on mid term break. I always like to cook and bake her favourites when she’s home and strawberry shortcake is her absolute favourite. She very often requests the sponge cake based version found here, even as a birthday cake.
With some strawberries and whipped cream on hand, I had the cake in the oven in minutes, sliced the strawberries to macerate in a little sugar while it was in the oven, then took another 5 minutes or so to whip the cream and put it all together.
