When I was writing about a great sponge cake last week, I mentioned using it in this sort of a shortcake recipe.  That must have stuck in my brain for the last few days. My sister and nephew came to visit for lunch yesterday so I made this version using a white chocolate flavoured whipped cream as a treat.

It took almost no time at all to put this together and was appreciated more than much more complex desserts. Needless to say, leftovers were hard to find.

Since the original post this recipe has become a real go-to favorite dessert at our house, especially at the height of summer strawberry season. My daughter loves it so much it has been her birthday cake for the last few years as well.

It makes a wonderfully light but satisfying finish to any home cooked meal and is particularly good as the perfect finish to a summer barbecue meal.

Strawberry shortcake with white chocolate whipped cream using a classic sponge cake is a simple, easy, elegant dessert that appeals to practically everyone.
Course: Cakes, Dessert
Cuisine: North American
Servings: 12 Servings
Ingredients
  • 1 two layer sponge cake recipe here
  • 2 pounds strawberries , sliced
  • ¼ cup white granulated sugar
  • cups whipping cream
  • 6 ounces white chocolate , melted and cooled to almost room temperature.
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup icing sugar
Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the strawberries and tossing them with the sugar. Allow to sit for at least a half hour, gently tossing occasionally with a rubber spatula. The sugar will begin to draw out the juice in the strawberries and combine with the sugar to form a strawberry syrup.
  2. Combine the whipping cream, icing sugar and vanilla and whip to soft peaks. Gently fold in the cooled, melted white chocolate using a rubber spatula.
  3. Place the first layer of sponge cake on a cake plate and using a fork, stab holes in the cake all over the surface. Spoon about ⅓ of the strawberry syrup over the cake and allow it to absorb into the cake. Cover the cake with half of the whipped cream mixture and then half of the sliced strawberries. Repeat this process for the top layer of the cake. Drizzle the top of the cake with the remaining strawberry syrup.
Recipe Notes

Total prep time does not include time for the cake to cool when it comes out of the oven.

This is a perfect dessert on a warm day, especially after a fully fatty meal! Last time I made it, the white chocolate solidified into tiny chips when I mixed it in with the cream, do you know why this happens? Is there some way I can prevent this?

Thank you!

Looks great! Should try with some fresh strawberries. Wonder if it works with cherries.
