strawberry shortcake
Berries, cream, cake
Strawberry shortcake is a dessert of fresh strawberries and whipped cream layered with or atop a sweet biscuit or sponge cake.
The American version typically uses a tender, crumbly biscuit split in half, while British versions favor sponge cake.
It's a summer staple when strawberries are in season: We're having strawberry shortcake for the Fourth of July. (Capitalized Strawberry Shortcake is a cartoon character.)
