When it comes to quintessential summertime desserts, shortcake pretty much ranks right up there with the best of contenders. Typically it’s made with strawberries piled over whipped cream and here on the west coast served over a slice angel-food cake or pound cake. But in other places it’s served over an actual short-cake that often looks somewhat like a biscuit though all similarities end right there. Done right, shortcake can transport you to another place and leave you feeling like you’ve never had anything like that before. Well, all I can say is I must’ve done something right because this Cherries-Jubilee Shortcake did just that!
