Strawberry Shortcake Slab Cake Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 5 Teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Slab Strawberry Shortcake: The Steps

Before we start this delicious Slab Strawberry Shortcake recipe preheat your oven to 400 degrees and get your jelly roll pan ( 15x10x1 inch pan) out of the cupboard and on the counter. The jelly roll pan will not be greased for this recipe. Place all of the flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, the baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir the ingredients together. Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut the butter into the mixed ingredients until you have coarse crumbs.

Place the eggs and whipping cream in a medium bowl, beat the ingredients together until they’re just incorporated.

STIR the egg/milk mixture into the flour mixture until you have a soft dough.

Lightly flour your fingers and press and pat the dough into your ungreased jelly roll pan. 

Bake the dough in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until it’s golden brown. Let the dough cool completely on a wire rack as you’re waiting for the cake to cool…

Place 4 cups of sliced strawberries in a large bowl. Add a 1/4 cup of white sugar to the bowl of strawberries and stir.  Stir the strawberries occasionally while you wait for the shortcake to cool. Stirring the sugar and strawberries together will help dissolve the white sugar into the strawberry juices.

Once the Strawberry Shortcake is complete:

When the cake is completely cooled and you are ready to serve this delicious treat place 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and 1/3 cup powdered sugar in a large chilled bowl. Beat the two ingredients together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.  Spread the top of the cooled cake with whipped cream. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the sliced strawberries over the cake, then slice it and serve!  Slab Strawberry Shortcake, your delicious ticket to an amazing Summer Treat!
