Strawberry Shortcakes

I tried a new recipe for shortcakes, requiring frozen butter. I also made individual cakes instead of in a 9" cake pan. It got good reviews, but when doesn't the combination of fresh strawberries, whip cream and cake? I'll have to do a side by side taste test some day to figure out which recipe is better.

5/8/22 threw this together for dessert but forgot to sprinkle sugar on the shortcakes before baking. Also only filled the shortcakes... Did not decorate on top to make eating less messy.
