Strawberry shortcake consists of macerated strawberries layered with a base and whipped cream. The traditional base is biscuits, providing a crisp texture. However, variations exist, with some preferring light sponge or yellow cake. Purists advocate for biscuits, while opinions vary based on regional preferences and individual taste. Classic recipes often involve soaking the strawberries in citrus and sugar for enhanced flavors. The choice of base significantly affects the dessert's overall taste and presentation, leading to lively discussions about personal preferences in preparation.
