What is a strawberry shortcake cake?
This variation on individual strawberry shortcakes captures the same dense, tender, and buttery texture of a strawberry shortcake biscuit, but is baked in an 8-inch cake pan, making it significantly easier to prepare while remaining just as delicious. The outcome is a visually appealing cake that is also straightforward to create, showcasing all the delightful light flavors of summer. It is the ideal dessert to prepare for a summer dinner party, a Mother’s Day brunch, or simply for the joy of it!

Our tips for the best strawberry shortcake
This strawberry shortcake cake recipe is a cherished family tradition passed down from my mother, and I have been making it alongside her for my entire life. You can trust that I possess all the essential tips and tricks to ensure this cake turns out perfectly every time!

Use in-season strawberries: This cake is best made during the summer when fresh strawberries are at their peak flavor. Alternatively, you can experiment with other fruits (it pairs wonderfully with various berries or juicy peach slices) if strawberries are out of season!

Use cold butter: This cake is essentially a large strawberry shortcake biscuit, and the secret to achieving a tender biscuit lies in using cold butter! If the butter is too warm, it will melt into the cake, preventing you from achieving that desirable buttery, almost laminated texture!

Top the cake with sugar — While it may seem like a minor detail, this step results in a stunning and flavorful finish.

Homemade shortcake. I have a little secret sauce that I like to use to add an extra crunch, which truly makes a significant difference.

Let the shortcake cool completely before you begin assembling it — Do NOT attempt to assemble this strawberry shortcake cake while it is still warm. If you do, the whipped cream will spill everywhere, resulting in a messy cake, which is quite unfortunate.

Is it possible to transform this strawberry shortcake cake into individual strawberry shortcakes? 
Absolutely! Just substitute 2/3 cup of milk for 1 cup in the recipe below and roll out your dough on a well-floured surface! I have also included a note in the recipe card with this information 🙂

How to store strawberry shortcake cake
I suggest assembling this cake right before you intend to serve it. This approach prevents the cake from becoming soggy beneath the layers of whipped cream and berries. You can certainly prepare the cake portion in advance, but refrain from adding the cream and berries until you are ready to serve!

Regarding the storage of leftovers, to be honest, they do not keep very well (though you should still save any remaining portions!). If the cake is stored in the refrigerator with the berries and whipped cream, it tends to become quite soggy if left for more than a day!

Happy baking, my friends!
Notes
If you’d rather make individual strawberry shortcakes, reduce the amount of milk to 2/3, roll out the dough to 3/4″ thickness and cut to your desired size shortcakes! Bake at 350°F until golden brown all over, anywhere from 12 to 18 minutes depending on how big you make them!!

Strawberry Phirni (strawberry Rice Pudding)



 Strawberry Phirni (strawberry Rice Pudding)

A delicately sweet, velvety rice pudding infused with cardamom and folded with fresh strawberry purée. Served chilled, this is a restaurant-quality dessert with perfect texture and flavor balance.


🧾 INGREDIENTS (Serves 4–6)

For the Phirni Base

  • ¼ cup basmati rice (soaked 30 minutes)

  • 4 cups whole milk

  • ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)

  • 4–5 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed

  • 8–10 saffron strands (optional, adds subtle golden richness)

  • Pinch of salt

For the Strawberry Layer

  • 1¼ cups fresh strawberries, hulled

  • 1–2 tablespoons sugar (depending on sweetness of berries)

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon rosewater or ½ teaspoon vanilla

For Garnish

  • Finely chopped pistachios or almonds

  • Fresh strawberry slices

  • Edible rose petals or mint leaves


👩‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prep the Rice

  1. Rinse the soaked rice and drain.

  2. Grind to a coarse paste using 2–3 tablespoons of water or milk.

    • Phirni requires a coarse texture — not smooth like kheer.


2. Cook the Phirni

  1. Bring milk to a gentle boil in a heavy pot.

  2. Reduce heat and add crushed cardamom and saffron.

  3. Stir in the rice paste slowly, ensuring no lumps.

  4. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, for 20–25 minutes until thick and creamy.

  5. Add sugar and a pinch of salt.

  6. Continue simmering 3–4 minutes until fully dissolved and the pudding is silky.

The phirni should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.


3. Make the Strawberry Purée

  1. Blend strawberries with sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

  2. Taste and adjust sweetness.

  3. Optionally add rosewater for a soft floral finish.


4. Cool the Phirni BEFORE Adding Strawberries

Very important:
Allow the cooked phirni to cool until warm (not hot) — about 25–30 minutes.
Adding strawberry purée to hot phirni can curdle the milk.


5. Fold in the Strawberry Purée

  1. Once the phirni has cooled to warm room temperature, fold in the strawberry purée.

  2. Mix until a uniform, natural pink color forms.

  3. Adjust thickness by adding a splash of cold milk if needed.


6. Chill

Pour into small bowls, glasses, or traditional mitti (clay) cups.
Refrigerate at least 2–3 hours — overnight gives the best flavor.


🍓 TO SERVE

Garnish with:

  • Chopped pistachios

  • Fresh strawberry slices

  • Mint or rose petals

  • A drizzle of strawberry syrup

Serve cold for the most luxurious texture.


🌟 CHEF TIPS FOR PERFECT STRAWBERRY PHIRNI

  • Grind rice coarse, not fine — this is authentic phirni texture.

  • Keep heat low to prevent sticking or scorching.

  • Chill well; strawberry desserts taste brighter cold.

  • If the color is pale, add 1–2 teaspoons more puree before serving.

  • For a glossy finish, fold in 1 tablespoon strawberry jam at the end.


💡 VARIATIONS (PREMIUM)

1. Strawberry Rose Phirni

Add 1 teaspoon rosewater and garnish with roses.

2. Strawberry Coconut Phirni

Replace 1 cup milk with coconut milk.

3. Strawberry Almond Phirni

Stir in 2 tablespoons almond flour for richness.

4. Strawberry Rabri-Style Phirni

Cook 10 extra minutes until ultra thick, like a mousse.

5. Strawberry Phirni Parfaits

Layer with crushed pistachio brittle or vanilla sponge cake.


STORAGE

  • Keep refrigerated up to 3 days.

  • Do not freeze (texture will separate).

  • Stir before serving if pudding thickens too much.
