Strawberry Shortcake - Japanese Style

Fruity Baked Dessert


Nothing beats greeting summer than by serving fresh fruit desserts to your family and guests.  

Strawberries are really affordable nowadays so I decided to prepare Japanese style strawberry shortcake.  As opposed to American style, Japanese style is lighter and "airer".  Not laden with too much sugar, flour and absolutely no shortening, just a smidge of butter. Have even encountered some shortcakes with whipped cream from spray cans.  Yikes!

This version is mainly a copy of +The Tart Tart recipe with some minimal refinements. http://www.thetarttart.com/2013/10/japanese-strawberry-shortcake/


I remember having Strawberry Shortcake scented erasers and stickers when I was still a wee one :) Did you have one too??!?
