Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Stir well and let sit for 5-10 minutes to release the juices, creating a strawberry syrup.
Step 3
If desired, add the vanilla extract to the whipped cream and gently fold to combine.
Step 4
Slice the store-bought pound cake into 1-inch thick slices. You should have about 6 slices.
Step 5
To assemble the shortcake, place one slice of pound cake on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the macerated strawberries and syrup over the top.
Step 6
Top the strawberries with a dollop of whipped cream.
Step 7
Optional: Sift a small amount of powdered sugar over the whipped cream for a finishing touch.
Step 8
Repeat the assembly for the remaining servings and serve immediately.
