The home of the strawberry shortcake

The home of the strawberry shortcake is believed to be America. The first recorded recipe for strawberry shortcake was published in an American cookbook called «The American Woman’s Cook Book» in 1897. However, the combination of strawberries and biscuits likely dates back much further. The tradition of serving strawberry shortcake as a dessert at summertime picnics and gatherings has been a part of American culture for generations. Today, strawberry shortcake remains a beloved dessert enjoyed coast to coast and is often associated with summertime, fresh berries, and a dollop of whipped cream.
