Ever notice there are a lot of ways to make this. Everyone has a different favorite. Some people like the bread to be a biscuit, some like an angel cake, some like pound cake. I am sure there are many more but these seem to be the norm. You can make sugary berries, you can squeeze lemon in them to give them zip, there is glaze you can buy at the store. And then there is the whip. Buy it in a bucket, or a can or make it yourself.
My husband likes lots of juice with his. My kids are all about the whipped topping. Me I like to make it with pound cake; buttery, slightly sweet and does not fall apart. I like to make my own whip topping in my blender. Sometimes I add cream cheese to it for an extra rich flavor. I do not like soggy shortcake. I like my berries with some zip and just enough juice to flavor the bread some.
Last night we enjoyed eating our Strawberry shortcake just the way we each like it.

I like the pound cake too! Not too much juice, not too sugary either. Homemade whip for sure! But I agree how it is so funny, that everyone has their way, and do not want to budge and have it someone elses way!
I'm a pound cake girl too. I have a super yummy recipe I love to use for it. But we did recently try a biscuit type shortcake that was good in it's own rite, and I want to try to copy that recipe soon! I just use berries and sugar and homemade whipped cream with a splash of vanilla. I also love a couple blueberries sprinkled on mine!
Yummy, that sounds really good Angel. I always add a splash of vanilla to my whip as well.
