Thank you Rebecca for the info on aluminum in baking powder. I wasn't aware of it before. I'm sure it makes a huge difference. This recipe is so much like what my mom always prepared except that she always made individual sized cakes rather than one large one. Either way it's delicious.

Afer reading reviews I too reduce the baking powder to 2 tsps. - which is ample. Also, for more flavor and a slightly moisture texture I use all butter. Should be eaten fresh and really soaks up the wonderful juice from the berries. Also works well with raspberries or blueberries.

I followed this to the tee, and what came out was more like soda bread than shortcake. I believe this recipe calls for way too much baking soda.

Cake was dense & dry. Made the 10 serving, 9"pan. Had to add 2 more tablespoons milk. Would be better in small molded shortcake nests(NordicWare mold pan). The cake will still be dry no matter what. At least the cake doesn't get soggy. I'll make it again, but will look for a better recipe. (Husband liked it though)

One of the best recipes for Shortcake I have used! I added a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 cup fine sugar to whipping cream as I made it. This was a wonderful touch! My mom loved it as I made this mothers day dinner!

I made this this weekend and they came out great. I took some of the suggestions and substituted butter for shortening and decreased the sugar to 1/4 cup and the baking powder to 2 tspns. It was delicious.

From this recipe I made the shortcake, very good! I didn't change anything and they turned out wonderfully. The second time I made them I thought they could use a bit more sugar, so I added another tbsp (we like to eat them on their own too!). I also made hockey puck sized individual shortcakes instead of a whole one, they take about the same time in the oven and I ended up with about 8 using this recipe. Thanks!

The end result is delicious. Getting there is a little tricky. I've made this two or three times, and each time the shortcake seems to be really dry. I may make this recipe x 1.5 next time so the cake is easier to split into two layers. It tastes great though! Once everything is layered, the combination of the not-so-sweet cake, with the tart & sweet berries and the creamy whipped cream is DELICIOUS!

I don't know if it was the 4 tsp of baking powder but it came out looking like a big biscuit and it turned to dough when you ate it. Won't be using this one again.

This was great. I was lazy and just formed the shortcake into round balls and flatened on the cookie sheet with my palm.

This recipe was AMAZING! Two of my coworkers came over for dinner and were so wowed with the presentation that she took a picture of it! I also used only tsp. baking powder. For the whipped cream I added 3 tablespoons of confectioners sugar and a tsp. of vanilla. My friends couldn't wait and began eating it from the bowl!!! FANTASTIC!

I made individual shortcakes and cut the baking powder in half like many of the others. I also added some sugar to the recipe just to sweeten it up a bit. These can be made with a whole wheat/white flour mixture as well and they still taste yummy!

Oh man, this is good! I've never had a strawberry shortcake, and wanted to make a dessert that wasn't all chocolate for a change.
