A Tall Square Stacked Strawberry Shortcake with Homemade Whipped Cream

My daughter celebrated a milestone birthday this month.  Strawberry cake is one of her favorites; and for her special birthday, I wanted to prepare a special cake.  So, I did a twist on traditional strawberry shortcake and made a tall square strawberry shortcake with three layers!  She said she loved it because it's so light...a perfect spring dessert!

I just can't decide on the photo with which to lead this post...the uncut cake photo shows what a beautiful presentation this cake makes; however, the sliced cake photo is such a great shot and shows how tempting the cake is, hmm...

This is how we started the cake...

And, this is after we cut the cake...

For the layers, I used a recipe I've been making for years.  Normally, it makes three 8" layers or one 13" x 9" x 2" cake.  I have spent quite a bit of time researching on the internet the Betty Crocker cookbook from which I adapted the recipe for the layers.  However, when I find my vintage Betty Crocker cookbook, which is packed away since my move,  I will provide the printing issue information.

Recipe coming soon!

Happy Spring y'all!
