I’m a summer fruit junkie. I wait for strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and nectarines to come into season every year, then feed my face with these delicious goodies. Just thinking about it is making my mouth water.

There are a few things I need to have every year or else it just isn’t summer. One for sure is strawberry shortcake. Now the shortcake I grew up with is not your typical shortcake. It is actually a sponge cake. I found that out last year when I started craving the sweetness that is my mom’s shortcake. She told me it is my grandma’s recipe. Grandma made it all the time.
