How to Make Strawberry Shortcake In a Jar

Before you start, reserve a few strawberries for a garnish. This is optional but adds a little something extra to your finished dessert.

Step 1

Now, wash and dry all the strawberries. Then remove stems and chop into quarters.

Step 2

Place strawberries in a medium bowl and mix 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in with the berries. Allow berries to sit for at least 30 minutes. This makes the berries soft and creates a sweet syrup.

Tip: You can leave the strawberries on the counter or refrigerate them while waiting.

Step 3

Next, cut your cake into 1-inch cubes.

Step 4

It’s time to make your whipped cream. Combine heavy cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla. Whip until stiff peaks form.

Tip: if you start with a chilled bowl, the cream whips faster. 

Step 5

In each jar layer cake, then strawberries then whipped cream and repeat these layers ending with whip cream.

Finally, garnish with fresh strawberries if desired. 

Enjoy!
