Strawberry shortcake is a dessert consisting of a rich large, sweet biscuit that is sliced and layered with sweetened fresh strawberries and whipped cream. While shortcake is often thought of as a dessert, savory versions are often made and served with some sort of gravy or filling.

The original strawberry shortcake recipe created in the mid-19th century looks a bit different than today’s version. It used uncooked meringue and a more shortbread type dough and cookie. It has since evolved over the years to what it is today using sweet biscuits, whipped cream, and sweetened strawberries.
