Impress with this stunning and tasty strawberry shortcake, ideal for high tea or any special event.
Ingredients:
500.00 ml sliced strawberries, hulled
80.00 gm (1/3 cup) caster sugar
160ml milk
300g plain flour
10.00 gm baking powder
100g unsalted butter, chopped
165.00 gm strawberry jam
200ml thickened cream, lightly whipped
Icing sugar, to dust
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C and prepare a 20cm springform pan by lining the base and greasing the sides.
Place luscious strawberries in a bowl with a touch of sweetness from half of the sugar, gently mix together, and let them mingle for a bit.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add butter and rub it in with your fingertips. Pour in the egg mixture and stir with a fork until well combined.
Press the dough evenly into the pan, then bake until beautifully golden for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
To serve, gently separate the cake layers. Spread the bottom half with jam, layer with cream, top with strawberries, then place the top half back on. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
