Today being National Pick Strawberries Day we figured we would put up a classic recipe that gets lots of play come Summertime here in California. Today we are gonna put a little twist on Strawberry Shortcake, no not the little girl's cartoon character many of us grew up making fun of, but the sweet and sugary treat that is typically light, fluffy and filled with gooey strawberry goodness.
Today we are improvising so instead of serving this sinfully delightful dessert on its routine sponge cake base we are serving it up on a moist Dutch Cocoa infused cake round that just screams to be eaten.
Quick to make and delicious to eat, this treats base and fillings can be made a day ahead and reserved until ready to be used.
So don't scare yourself into thinking this is one of those kinds of treats that has to be made right before service.
Enjoy!!
