This is a light, refreshing, and fun dessert that is PERFECT for summer. This is a nice spin on a classic strawberry shortcake. The cake is spongy and buttery, the strawberries are sweet and fresh and the whipped cream lightens up everything up. Feel free to use whatever fruit you want to and even try this with chocolate cake!
