Cracker Barrel Strawberry Shortcake

You can enjoy this strawberry shortcake anytime.

Ingredients

  • Quick and Easy Method
  • 1 frozen or pre-made pound cake
  • 1 pint of frozen sweetened strawberries
  • 1 scoop premium vanilla ice cream
  • 1 can whipped cream
  • Scratch method
  • 1 homemade pound cake
  • 1 pound Fresh strawberries
  • 1 pint whipped cream
  • premium vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Quick and Easy Assembly

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 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.

From Scratch Method

Prepare the strawberries several hours ahead of time by cleaning them, slicing them and placing them into a bowl. Add about 1 tablespoon of superfine sugar, if available, to the strawberries and mix well. Place strawberries in the refrigerator. The sugar will help to make the strawberries juicy. Whip the whipping cream with a mixer 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, follow the directions above.

    We grilled the short cake on the grill before we put the shortcake together

    Grill the sliced pound cake to get the brown crusty look at Cracker Barrel

    You are right. Cracker Barrel doesn’t serve their strawberry shortcake on ordinary pound cake. It was certainly the most delicious that I have ever tasted. MMMMmm WHAT IS THAT RECIPE!!!!

      I look forward to revisiting this recipe this next year, where I had it, it was pretty much regular pound cake.

    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.

    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?
