How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking pans by greasing and lightly flouring them.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt for the shortcakes. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 portions and shape into biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. While the shortcakes bake, prepare the strawberry filling. In a medium bowl, gently macerate the sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to release the juices.
  6. Once the shortcakes are cool, slice them horizontally to create two layers for each shortcake.
  7. To assemble, choose a suitable serving dish or cake base. Layer shortcakes, ice cream, and macerated strawberries. Repeat layers until your cake is built. You may need 2-3 pints of ice cream.
  8. Top the cake with the remaining macerated strawberries and whipped cream if desired.
  9. Freeze for at least 2 hours to allow the cake to set before serving.
