Easy recipe but soooo delicious. My son and I loved it. I did make one adjustment to the shortcake, I added about 2 oz of strawberry gelatine to the step # 2 which make the cake more moist and added more of strawberry taste to the layers. I will be making this again. Thanks :)

A nearly identical recipe has been in my family for years. It is a wonderful recipe, but you do have to understand that the cake is a shortcake, not a typical American butter cake. It is not very moist and has only a slight chocolate flavor that really allows the strawberries to shine. I only serve this cake with real whipped cream (flavored with a bit of vanilla), and a homemade chocolate sauce. The chocolate sauce soaks into the cake and the whipped cream compensates for the less sweet cake. All together it is amazing!

We LOVED this recipe using Sweetened Whipped Cream from this site instead of Cool Whip. I can't wait to have it again.

People love this dessert, I've been making it for years now and it's a frequent request for gatherings. Last time I make it with margarine and rice milk and it still turned out great!

I scaled by half and added another T of sugar to the shortcake. Used Redi-Whip Chocolate squirt can with strawberries and blueberries.

I liked it i used white chocolate instead of syrup, i think that some people are confused on what coco powder is its not going to make the biscuit super sweet

This was so good! And it was very simple. I did make my own whipped cream instead of using cool-whip. My youngest son said it was not good it was "Magnificent" so I will be making this again. Thanks!

I added some almond flavoring to the dough and dropped them onto a cookie sheet like a biscuit. Also sprinkled a pinch of sugar on the tops. I liked them a lot but prefer regular shortcake. Just personal taste. The recipe worked for me. Had no problems with it being dry or crumbly.

Though I was concerned since the batter was very thick and had to be pressed by hand into the pan, this shortcake is outstanding. The family loved it and already asked that I make it again.
