Strawberry Shortcake Draft

How I make it

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Cut the strawberries into pieces, sprinkle with 2 tbsp sugar, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. In a mixer, combine the flour, 2 tbsp sugar, baking powder and salt.

4. Add the butter and mix until crumbly.

5. Add the egg and milk and mix just until combined.

6. Transfer to an 8-inch (20 cm) pan or a muffin pan.

7. Bake for 18-20 minutes (15 minutes is enough in a muffin pan).

8. When the cake is cool, split it in half and top the bottom with half the whipped cream and the strawberries.

9. Set the top half in place and cover the cake with the remaining whipped cream.
