Assemble Your Easy Mini Strawberry Shortcakes:
STEP 1: Mix your angel food cake batter according to package directions.
STEP 2: Pour batter into a 15″x10″ rimmed lined baking pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
STEP 3: Allow cake to cool while preparing the strawberries.
STEP 4: Slice strawberries to desired size. I quartered mine.
STEP 5: Place strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar.
STEP 6: Once cake has cooled, use a round cookie cutter to cut the cake into circles. I used a 2″ biscuit cutter because the mason jars I used were 2″ wide.
STEP 7: Assemble the mini shortcakes by placing the cut cake in the mason jar.
STEP 8: Add a spoonful of strawberries on top.
STEP 9: Whip your whipping cream with sugar (or use cool whip) and pipe onto top of strawberries. Garnish with half of a strawberry.
Tips for using these Easy Mini Strawberry Shortcakes:
- I used these mini jars that are only 2″ high. If you use the taller jars, just layer the cake, strawberries and whipped cream twice.
- Use cool whip to make this EVEN easier!
- Add some blueberries with the strawberries to make the perfect July 4th desserts!
