When I was growing up, Mom sometimes experimented with different dessert recipes, but this tried-and-true spongy shortcake was always great just the way it was. It melted in my mouth! -Karen Wingate, Coldwater, Kansas

I doubled the recipe for a family party, it worked great in a 9x13 pan baked for 32 minutes. Delicious!

This is probably one of the best shortcakes I have. I did have problems getting it out of the pan even though I thoroughly greased it. It just wouldn't drop out. I had to carefully dig it out. Next time I'll try greasing and flouring. It's not a super sweet cake so if you're looking for something light, it's great. If you want something sweeter, you might try adding a little more sugar or perhaps letting your sugared strawberry juice soak through the cake.

WOW! This cake is so good it's a shame to cover it up with strawberries! Makes a sweet, crunchy top. YUMMMMMMY!

The cake was very moist and delicious. I followed the recipe as stated, but I also sprinkled some cinnamon in with the dry ingredients.

It was very easy to make and my family loved it. It was exactly what I was looking for. My only change would be to use a smaller pan. I used a 9x9 pan and it was too thin.
