Coconut Lime Strawberry Shortcake

I actually used to think that I didn’t like strawberries.

I don’t know what was wrong with me.

It was strawberry shortcake that changed my mind about that.

It was once again my time spent in southern California that did it.

Not only because I saw the strawberry fields everyday and they were just so good that fresh, but I also ate strawberries and particularly in shortcake form a lot.

As in, for two months straight I was fed many different forms of strawberry shortcake after dinner.

None of them were exactly the same, but they were all delicious.

And while this definitely made me appreciate strawberries more and I came to love all forms of strawberry shortcake, I wanted to perfect it.

And by perfect, I mean taste really good to me at the moment.

This one definitely fits the bill!

I’m not a big fan of angel food cake (don’t get me started) so for this one I actually used pound cake.

A moist, lime flavored pound cake.

Then come the strawberries and the coconut flavored whipped cream.

Pretty simple, when you come right down to it.

But most of the best foods are the simple ones, I think.
