To prepare a strawberry and rhubarb shortcakes recipe, first you need to gather your ingredients. First, you'll need the following ingredients: 1 cup fresh strawberries 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1/2 cup melted butter 1 teaspoon sour cream Instructions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed until the mixture reaches stiff peaks. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating after each addition until it's just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes or until browned. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
