Share Your Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

I never made strawberry shortcake, but I'd like to try. Does anyone have a good recipe for fluffly shortcake? We went strawberry picking yesterday and there's no way we're going to eat them all.

The most effort I'd put into strawberry shortcake would be when I squirt that nasty strawberry flavored corn syrup onto a store-bought angel food cake after putting sliced strawberry on top of it. 

I would consider making the cake part from angel food cake mix, but that's about it.
Ain't got time for that.

There used to be a recipe on the back of a Bisquick box I always used. It's probably still on the boxes. That's always been my favorite for the shortcake. With the strawberries, I just mash with sugar and serve with loads of whipped cream!!

OMG how did I forget to mention whipped cream? In a can. Most would go right into my mouth. Or on DH later tonight (JK, he's too hairy for body toppings).

fresh biscuit, crushed strawberries, and whip cream.

Angel food cake, macerated strawberries (slice strawberries, sprinkle with sugar, mix, let sit for a couple hours), and whipped cream. Angel food cake from scratch is about a million times better than store bought. If you have a tube pan, I prefer this recipe https://bakingbites.com/2005/06/the-best-angel-food-cake/

If you want something sweet and dense I use pound cake. For light and fluffy, definitely angel food cake.

I like my strawberry shortcake on pound cake. If you want a short cut method buy the Sara Lee poundcake from the freezer section slice strawberries, add sugar a capful of vanilla extract, which makes a great syrup, spoon that over the pound cake top with whip cream or vanilla ice cream. Delicious!

cake sounds amazing.  i've only ever had it with a (fluffy) biscuit.  delicious but not light.
