FAQs
What is shortcake made of?
Shortcake has many similar ingredients to cake. However, the main difference is, shortcake’s butter is cut into its dry ingredients and has a texture that is similar to cornmeal.
Why is it called shortcake?
While shortcake is smaller than a traditional cake, its name actually comes from an old English term. “Short” was used to describe something made crumbly by adding fat to the recipe. In this case, butter!
Do you refrigerate strawberry shortcake?
The shortcake will absorb the strawberries and whipped topping after a time and become soggy. If you’d like to save it for later, I would recommend refrigerating the strawberries and shortcake separately!
