Cantoro Italian Market’s Pastry Chef, Katie Klann, shares the market’s recipe for its Strawberry Shortcake, a sweet summer treat to enjoy with friends and family.
Baker’s tip: Sprinkle a little sugar on top of your strawberries after you slice them and let them sit in the fridge until you are ready to top your shortcake. Tastes best when shortcake is warm, fresh out of the oven.
