SHORTCAKE SUPREME
The mother of my shortcakes recipe was necessity. I needed a quick way to use up a bounty of wild berries that we picked on a family camping trip one summer.-Kenna Robinson, Sault Ste Marie, Ontario

Steps:
- 1. Prepare cake mix as directed on box for 9x13 pan. Let cool completely. I like to make ahead and refrigerate, covered.
- 2. Wash and hull strawberries, let dry til damp. Cut in half, or quarters if large, and place in large bowl. Wash peaches, smoothing fuzz with hands under running water. Let dry and cut into 1/2 - 1 inch chunks. Put in bowl with strawberries. Add 1/4 cup sugar and stir gently to distribute. Store in fridge a few hours to allow to make it's own sauce with the added sugar.
- 3. In another large bowl, make vanilla pudding with only 1 cup milk, mix as directed on package. Carefully fold in thawed whipped topping thoroughly. Can see if completely mixed because pudding will be different color than topping. Store, covered, in fridge until time to serve.
- 4. Cut cake into squares. Can be sliced in half horizontally if refrigerated. Scoop strawberries and peaches with some juice over cake. Top with combined pudding/whipped topping mixture. Repeat if sliced in half for a double decker version.
Tips:
- Choose the right berries: Fresh, ripe berries are essential for a delicious shortcake. Look for berries that are plump and brightly colored, with no signs of bruising or mold.
- Macerate the berries: Macerating the berries in sugar helps to draw out their juices and make them even more flavorful. Simply combine the berries and sugar in a bowl and let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Make a flaky biscuit base: Buttermilk biscuits or puff pastry are both great options for a shortcake base. Be sure to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs, and then add just enough buttermilk or water to bring the dough together.
- Bake the shortcakes until golden brown: The shortcakes should be baked until they are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form: Freshly whipped cream is the perfect topping for shortcake. Be sure to whip it until stiff peaks form, so it will hold its shape when dolloped on top of the shortcakes.
- Assemble the shortcakes just before serving: Shortcakes are best when they are served fresh. Assemble them just before serving, so the biscuits don't get soggy.
Conclusion:
Shortcake is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious shortcake that will be the star of your next party or gathering.
