This recipe is wonderful! The moist shortcake combined with the lemon and berries is just bright! I added some blueberries to the batter with the strawberries and allowed guests to top with berries and whipping cream as they desired. When I want more than just plain shortcake for company, I'll make this!

Simple to make! The only thing better than eating it was the fresh smell while I made it! Summer in a mixing bowl. Absolutely delicious and I so am making it again!

This is a flavorful shortcake that's not too sweet, but satisfies the sweet tooth. Easy to prepare, but watch your baking time. It may require more time to bake, depending on your oven.
