How to put it together

strawberries and place in a bowl with the 5 tbs of suger. Toss and place in the

for the shortcake: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar

mixture is just combined. You don't want the mixture to be too wet, you may not
use all of the cream.

dough into a cupcake tin, unlined and not greased. Once full bake for 18
minutes

time to put together the whipped cream. In a bowl combine the 1 1/2 cups of
heavy whipping cream, 3 tbs of sugar, vanilla extract and lemon zest.
6.Using a mixer, whip the mixture until
soft peaks form. This will take about 2 minutes.
7.Now all you need to do is piece them
all together. Once the shortcake is cooled, cut them in half.
8.Place some of the strawberries on the
bottom, a dollop of the whipped cream, then another layer of strawberries, a
dollop of whipped cream and then replace the top.
