Recipe: Shortcut Shortcake

A quick strawberry shortcake, an easy no-bake dessert that is great for the summer.

I love strawberries.  My mouth waters when I walk past those sweet, juicy berries at the grocery store.

Most of the time, I'll eat strawberries all by themselves, but sometimes I want dessert. That's when my shortcut shortcakes are perfect.

I like tossing my strawberries with a little sugar, but you definitely do not have to.

It takes less than five minutes to make dessert for two, and they are delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 butter loaf pound cake
  • Approximately 4 strawberries per serving, cleaned and quartered
  • Whipped cream (the Reddi-Whip kind is the best, although you can use Cool Whip, or, better yet, make your own)

Directions

    1. Slice pound cake into 1 inch slices.
    2. Place on slice of pound cake onto a plate. 
    3. Layer whipped cream with strawberries and add next slice of pound cake.
    4. Again, layer whipped cream and strawberries.
