Cooking Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F. Coat an 8-in. round cake pan with nonstick spray.

Mix strawberries and 3 Tbsp sugar in a bowl; refrigerate.

Mix 1⁄2 cup sugar and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. With pastry blender, cut in spread until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and chips just to blend. Spread in cake pan.

Bake 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out dry. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Unmold on rack; cool completely.

Split cake in half with a serrated knife. Lift top to cutting board; cut in 8 wedges. Top bottom with strawberries and their juices, and whipped topping. Carefully place cake wedges on top; sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.

The shortcake is best the day it’s baked.
