Description

This is the BEST recipe for shortcake that I’ve found. And it’s easy, what more could you want?

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SHORTCAKES:
  • ½ cups Margarine
  • 1-½ cup Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2-½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 whole Eggs (can Also Substitute 3 Egg Whites)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • _____
  • FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING:
  • ¾ cups Flour
  • ¾ cups Sugar
  • 4-½ Tablespoons Butter, Melted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 pan. Cream margarine and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add salt, water, flour, and baking powder. Fold in eggs and vanilla. Spread in the pan.

Mix together sugar, flour, and melted butter in a small mixing bowl and spread over top. This makes your crumb topping.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve it warm or cooled, with fresh strawberries. It’s also good with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Or douse it all with milk (my husband’s favorite). Take your pick, they’re all delicious.

I really liked this cake! It reminds me of a coffee cake that has been fused with a biscuit. It was great warm or cold and tasty by itself. Thanks for posting this!

I gave this shortckae a try and it was delicious. My family is in agreement that it should replace my previous shortcake recipe! It was very quick and easy. The sweet and crunchy topping is the perfect compliment to the simple shortcake and berries. We enjoyed ours with milk poured over the top . And, actually, the cake is delicious by itself and even though I’m out of strawberries, I cannot stop slicing of peices of it.
Thanks for sharing and know that it has earned a permanant spot in my recipe box!
