Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite summer desserts and this Strawberry Sheet Shortcake Recipe makes it even better and so so easy! Moist, delicious and full of flavor.
Strawberry Sheet Shortcake Recipe
Making a sheet cake meant for strawberry shortcake is brilliant! You’ll never make it any other way! It’s so much easier than making individual shortcakes, which many times turn out dry and crumbly. 
This recipe is so moist and tasty, I may substitute it for all cake recipes! With the exception of my Chocolate-Mayonnaise Cake or my Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting…
How to Make Strawberry Shortcake with Sheet Shortcake
There is a restaurant here that serves their strawberry shortcake with vanilla ice cream. Now I can’t have it any other way.
- Cut the sheet shortcake into squares and place in a small bowl of dessert cup. Large coffee cups also work great for this.
- Add a couple of scoops of ice cream.
- Add strawberries and drizzle any juices over the top.
Trust me, you will never want to have it any other way. Making strawberry sheet shortcake will become a summer tradition.
