Shortcake Recipe

 

Josh's birthday was yesterday and his dessert request changes each year. He isn't a big fan of anything super sweet and mostly likes desserts with fruit included. This year he chose strawberry shortcake. Easy enough! I planned to make the entire dessert store bought but I couldn't find any shortcake at Walmart. After searching simple recipes online I found this one by Bless This Mess Please. I had all ingredients so I thought it was worth a try. It was very easy and delicious! Josh said in the future this is what I should use as the shortcake when we have this dessert. 

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup sugar

1/4 cup melted butter (I put in fridge for 5 min after melting to cool off)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk (I used oatmilk and it worked just fine)

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 8x8 inch baking pan.

In a medium bowl add sugar and melted butter and stir til combined.

Add the egg and vanilla and stir to combine.

Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix with an electric mixer.

Add milk and beat again until it is smooth without clumps.

Place batter in prepared pan and bake for 20-25 min. Mine took the full 25 min. Check that it springs back when lightly touched in the middle.

Remove from oven and let cool for 30 min before placing on serving dish or wire rack.

Slice cake and top with cool whip and strawberries.

Easy and a great/simple summer dessert!
