A popular dessert, strawberry shortcake is produced from shortcake, a sweetened biscuit-like cake leavened with baking soda and powder. An ideal holiday dessert, its macerated sweet strawberries, and freshly whipped cream are placed on top of the shortcake. Strawberry shortcakes can also be served with ice cream in place of whipped cream.
Some early versions of strawberry shortcake recipes used crumbled pie crust in lieu of shortcake. This was replaced by shortcakes, which are still commonly used in contemporary strawberry shortcakes. For the Manila Hotel’s version, we used honey sponge cake instead. Our vanilla-scented, buttery, freshly made sponge cake doused with good berries and a mountain of cream can be a marvelous dessert. for the yuletide season.
Nothing says cold weather like strawberry shortcake: rich and tender homemade sponge cake layered with juicy strawberries (with syrup), and topped off with vanilla pink frosting topped with fresh strawberries. Try our Strawberry Shortcake at P1,300 to sweeten and brighten your December.
