Just the mention of Strawberry Shortcake is absolutely mouth-watering. The sweetness of strawberries on a delicious soft cake is a straight delight to anyone’s tastebuds.

And you know what? I’m not exaggerating. This recipe is a hit, especially with the kids.

But I’ll be honest, I was a little concerned about the potential for a mom’s most dreaded concern: Mess.

Look, my kids are not the neatest and if I let them serve themselves, that’s just a recipe for disaster.  

So, I tried something new. It’s the same pound cake I would otherwise make, strawberries and whipped cream like before, but I can control the mess. Cute, efficient and, frankly, simple. I love it.

Similar to this layered Strawberry Trifle, I decided to make the Strawberry Shortcake layered in cups. Perfect for serving if there are kids around who love the cake but can’t stay in one place to eat it. But then, they’re great for anyone., because the idea is they look really nice when arranged and served that way.

Making the Strawberry Shortcake

Get your ingredients first. Prepare your favorite Pound Cake. You can use the store-bought pound cake for ease of use. I like the frozen kind because, you know, easy. But you can make homemade pound cake that you’ll really love, if you want.

If you want to make this a gluten-free strawberry shortcake you can use my Pound Cake recipe,

Then bring out the frozen, sliced and sweetened strawberries, in juice and thaw completely. And of course, the whipped cream.

You will also need several small, clear dessert cup.

To make the Strawberry Shortcake, first, cut 1 slice of pound cake into 8 equal size cubes.

Place 1 tablespoon of strawberries in the bottom of a small dessert cup, then add 4 cubes of pound cake.

Spoon strawberries over the cake, and then cover strawberries with whipped cream.

Repeat the cake, strawberry, whipped cream process one more time.

Serve & enjoy!!
