To make this delicious cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Shortcake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs

For the Strawberry Filling:

- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Whipped Cream:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before slicing it in half horizontally.
To make the strawberry filling, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries have broken down. Let the mixture cool completely before spreading it over the bottom half of the shortcake.
To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the strawberry filling and top with the other half of the shortcake.
The Easter Strawberry Shortcake Cake is a delicious and beautiful dessert that is perfect for any Easter celebration. The shortcake is light and fluffy, while the sweet strawberry filling and whipped cream add a burst of flavor and texture. This dessert is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
