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 heavy cream
- 1 large egg

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 hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Place the circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the strawberry filling. In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the Strawberry Shortcake Marvel, slice the shortcakes in half and place a spoonful of the strawberry filling on the bottom half. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and place the other half of the shortcake on top. Add another spoonful of strawberry filling and another dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint leaves.
This Strawberry Shortcake Marvel is a perfect dessert for any occasion. It is a combination of sweet and tangy flavors that will leave you wanting more. The shortcake is light and fluffy, while the strawberry filling is sweet and tart. The whipped cream adds a creamy and smooth texture to the dish. This dessert is perfect for summer gatherings or any time you want to indulge in something sweet and delicious.
