It was good, but I guess I was expecing more. The "cake" part was a little over-powering, and it just had a "blah" taste to it. Probably will not make again, but thanks for posting.

I made this recipe as stated, except that I used an 8" cake pan instead of 9", since others said the shortcake was too thin to split into layers. I baked it at 400 for 15-17 minutes until golden. It was very easy to split. The only thing I didn't like about this recipe was the shortcake itself -- I liked it on its own, but when mixed with the fruit and cream, it seemed stale and ... salty? It just didn't do anything for me, and seemed kind of out of place. My 2 brothers agreed, and we all pushed the cake to the side and gobbled up the strawberries and cream on their own. My mom was the only one who thought it was perfect, though she admits that she hates other shortcakes made with sponge or angel food cake. Either way, I certainly would not double the shortcake recipe! It doesn't seem like much, but there really was plenty.

Fantastic. So much better than regular shortcake. I used the Jiffy all purpose baking mix. It is a satisfying dessert yet you dont have to feel as guilty. I will also try with peaches.Thanks for the great recipe. This has already become a regular.

I agree with the other person. This was a little too crumbly and I had to make two batches. One was just not enough. And I followed the recipe exactly. The overall taste was good, so I have to give it 4 stars.

I give this 5 stars on taste. But 3 or 4 stars on presentation. It may have been my fault but the whole thing fell apart and looked a mess. But, it still tasted wonderful.

Didn't seem thick enough to torte so I double the shortcake batter and baked two 9" cakes. I trimmed the tops so the strawberries/juices could soak into the cake faster! Delicious!
