Cracker Barrel Strawberry Shortcake
Go back in time with an old fashioned treat like the Cracker Barrel Strawberry Shortcake, this recipe isn’t a secret, you can make a tasty summer time dessert at home. There are two ways to make this recipe, you can use the quick and easy method, or you can make everything from scratch.
Quick and Easy Method
1 frozen or premade pound cake
1 pint of frozen sweetened strawberries
1 scoop premium vanilla ice cream
1 can whipped cream
Assemble strawberry shortcake by cutting two slices of the pound cake, and then slicing those in half. In a bowl place the 4 pieces of pound cake across from each other. Spoon defrosted strawberries onto cake; add one scoop of vanilla ice cream, and then top with whipped cream.
While the Cracker Barrel may use frozen strawberries, I really like fresh much more. I think you can jazz up this recipe by using fresh strawberries, fresh whipped cream, and if you are up for it a homemade pound cake.
1 homemade poundcake
1 lb. Fresh strawberries
1 pint whipped cream
Premium vanilla ice cream.
Prepare the strawberries several hours ahead of time by cleaning them, and slicing them and placing into a bowl. Add about 1 tablespoon of superfine sugar if available to the strawberries and mix well. Place strawberries into the refrigerator. The sugar will help to make the strawberries juicy. Whip the whipping cream with a mixer. Whip cream until firm. You may want to add a touch of vanilla to this for some extra flavor. When you are ready to serve the shortcakes do so as in the directions above.

This isn’t even close to a copycat recipe – anyone can make poundcake, but that is not what CB serves their Strawberry Shortcake on.
The last time I was in the Cracker Barrel they served it on pound cake. I don’t know where you were when you tried this, but I ordered this on a couple of different occassions, and it was pound cake both times. Maybe they were serving it up differently where you were. What was the shortcake that you had tried?
I agree; it was definitely not a usual poundcake. Something much lighter and sweeter; just the best shortcake we ever had. Would love to know what it was and in the meantime, hope they serve it again this summer.
