I'm new to this kind of shortcake (grew up with the spongecake kind), but I've been converted. Moist, a little crumbly/flaky, not too sweet and the lemon makes for a great flavor. It reminds me of a good scone. I'm making it again this weekend, this time gonna top it with a berry medley and fresh whipped cream.

I would rate this with 6 stars if I could, the cake was moist and perfectly light enough for my taste. The addition of lemon zest in the cake was amazing - kicking myself for not doing that earlier. I even added a little zest to the whipped cream. Strawberry shortcake has always been my favorite dessert, so I've tried plenty, and this was the best I've ever had!

This was a great dessert. The lemon added something extra and having fresh whipped cream made it that much better. You can do without the lemon butter but if yu ahve the time it's worth a try. I've made this several times and will make it many more again.

I really enjoyed this "lemony" spin on shortcake.

A little dry, but loved the lemon taste.

This was delicious. I made it for me and my boyfriend. We both loved it. The portions were really big too. You could even make it into four shortcakes and it would be just right. I used fresh cherries instead of strawberries and I didn't have any lemons but I did have lemon extract so I used half the measurements for the lemon extract. It turned out perfect!

The lemon zest really set off this shortcake. I didn't bother with the lemon butter, though I'm sure it would have been yummy. I did add vanilla to my whipping cream and strawberries - and also added just a touch of balsamic vinegar to my strawberries. It was incredible!

I used the shortcake section of this recipe and quadrupled the recipe (don't forget - this recipe only makes 2 servings unless you change it). I formed a large circle about 3/4 inch thick with the dough. I cut it into wedges, as you would for scones, for a better presentation. I didn't have any lemon zest or lemon flavoring, but these were perfect for shortcake anyway. Good, simple recipe, and the best I've had yet!

I'm giving this recipe 5 stars because I didn't follow it exactly and it was still really good. Instead of making individual portions I made the shortcake recipe for 6 and made the top and the bottom huge. I don't think I flatened it enough so it was too "cakie" and a tad hard but still tasted fantastic. The family loved it, it looked beautiful, will make again! I'll post the picture I took. P.S. I put the lemon zest in the dough, but didn't include the lemon butter because my husband doesn't like a heavy lemon taste - it was perfect!

Absolutely delicious! I love lemon and strawberries, and so I whipped up this shortcake and it took no time at all. Simple and easy, I would make this again!

The only complaint I have is that it was difficult to cut each shortcake circle in half. I would recommend making four, thinner circles. Tastes good and is fairly easy to prepare.
