Ok, am I the only one that sees this dessert and immediately thinks of the cute little cartoon Strawberry Shortcake? My little girls love watching it and I enjoy all the creative names of the characters. They’re always up to something. 😄

This cake mixes up fast and bakes almost as fast. This is a quick dessert to throw together and serve to guests and it’s so pretty! Personally, I love my strawberry shortcake to be more of a cake than a biscuit and this is perfect. Also great to make when feeding a crowd (or just my family haha). Each cake is 24 servings.

I bake the cake in a half sheet pan. I have a bunch of these pans in my kitchen and use them for so many different things. My favorite ones are from USA Pans. Here’s the link for them. USA Half Sheet Pan

Happy Summer y’all and enjoy the recipe!
