Now you've got me hungry for strawberry shortcake! I haven't made
it for a few years. But, I want mine with real shortcake! I have
an excellent recipe for the shortcake that I found about 10 or 15 years
ago. So much better than anything else I've ever had. And besides,
if you put the strawberries over angelfood cake it's not strawberry
shortcake as angelfood cake is not short. ;-) Something I have
often made for easter in the past is an angelfood cake with strawberry
buttercream icing. Yum. Haven't made that in a while either. Now,
I'm hungry for both!!!
