THE BEST CLASSIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
For our simple and iconic shortcake, we discovered a great double-stacking technique that creates super light and high biscuits that are easy to split. This makes them easy to fill without crumbling. A simple recipe like this one allows its ingredients to shine, so use the very best berries you can find.

Steps:
- For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Pour in the chilled heavy cream mixture and pulse until just combined.
- Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut out as many biscuits as you can with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Then pat the remaining dough out to 1/2-inch thick again. Cut more biscuits; you should get 12.
- Put 6 of the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with cream, then top each cream-brushed biscuit with one of the remaining biscuit rounds. (This makes it easier to split once they are baked.) Brush the top of each biscuit stack with more heavy cream and sprinkle 1 teaspoon granulated sugar on each biscuit.
- Bake the biscuits until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, for the topping: Toss the strawberries and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a medium bowl.
- Just before serving, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Split the shortcakes in half. Spoon half the cream on the bottom of the biscuits, top evenly with the strawberries and top with the remaining cream. Put each biscuit top on and serve.
OLD-FASHIONED SHORTCAKE
This is a fabulous old-fashioned recipe given to me by a friend. It was her mother's recipe and it is the best shortcake. It sops up all the juice and the touch of nutmeg sends it over the top. My very favorite recipe for strawberry shortcake!

Steps:
- In a bowl with a potato masher mash 2 cups blackberries with 1/3 cup granulated sugar and stir in remaining blackberries. In 2 more bowls mash separately raspberries and blueberries with remaining granulated sugar in same manner. Let berries stand at room temperature 4 hours. Berry mixtures may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring berries to room temperature before serving.
- Make shortcakes:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. and lightly butter 2 baking sheets. In a large bowl whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl whisk together zest, sour cream, and milk and add to flour mixture. Stir mixture until it just forms a soft and sticky dough and drop into 12 mounds at 1-inch intervals onto prepared baking sheets. Pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness and bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until pale golden. Transfer shortcakes to a rack and cool. Shortcakes may be made 4 hours ahead and kept in airtight containers.
- In a large bowl beat cream with confectioners' sugar until it holds soft peaks. Whipped cream may be made 1 hour ahead and chilled in a cheesecloth-lined large sieve set over a bowl, its surface covered with plastic wrap. Whisk cream lightly before serving.
- Split shortcakes horizontally with a fork and serve with berries and whipped cream.
FLUFFY ORANGE SHORTCAKE
Steps:
- Have ready an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Sift flour, measure, resift 3 times with baking powder, salt and 3/4 cup sugar. Put the egg yolks into a mixer fitted with a whisk, add 1/4 cup cold water and the lemon juice, then beat on medium speed until thick and spongy, 4 to 5 minutes. Without stopping the beaters, gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and the vanilla and beat until mixture is again thick and spongy. Now turn the mixer to the lowest speed and add flour in 4 portions, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl constantly with a spatula. Beat until batter is smooth. Fold in the lemon zest.
- Remove and clean the whisk. In another mixer bowl (or in a bowl with a hand whisk), quickly beat the egg whites until stiff enough to form peaks, then beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until the whites form shiny pointed peaks that curve at the tips. Fold the yolk mixture into the whites, lightly but thoroughly. Flow batter into the tube pan.
- Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and invert over a large funnel or bottle. When just cooled, remove the cake from the pan using a thin-bladed knife. Slice the cake into 4 layers. Wrap and freeze 2 layers for up to 2 months. Ice the other two and eat now.
- Place one layer on a cake plate. In a small pan, warm the marmalade and eau de vie until loose, then brush this on the bottom layer. Whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar until it holds soft peaks; sweeten with more sugar if you like. Spread about 1 cup of the cream over the marmalade (now cooled). Place the second layer of cake on top, then ice the cake with the remaining whipped cream and decorate the top with slivers of candied peel. Chill and serve within 2 hours.
