To prepare a strawberry shortcake with cheesecake whipped cream recipe, first you will need to prepare the ingredients. First, preheat the oven to 350?F (180?C) and prepare your oven rack to the lowest setting. Place the sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in the mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks and mix until they are fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake for 20 to 25 minutes or until it is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
