shortcake
Fruit and cream
Shortcake is a dessert of sweet biscuit or sponge cake topped with fruit and whipped cream.
Strawberry shortcake is the classic version: We're having strawberry shortcake for dessert.
The cake itself is called shortcake because it contains a high ratio of fat (shortening), making the texture tender and crumbly rather than chewy.
