Did you know that today is National Strawberry Shortcake Day? I had no idea! Seriously…who comes up with this stuff? I don’t care, cuz I love Strawberry Shortcake! My favorite way is to have it with angel food cake and tons of whipped cream.
As if you didn’t know that already!
I knew I wanted to make something to celebrate the day, but my creative juices just haven’t been flowing recently. And then a couple days ago, I started craving a really good homemade milkshake. BAM! It hit me! I remembered hearing about a chocolate cake milkshake….where you actually put a slice of cake in the milkshake. Why not add all the wonderful goodness of strawberry shortcake into the blender and see what would happen.
Let me just tell you….it was magical!
The flavor of the angel food cake adds a nice subtle tangy flavor to the milkshake. Of course, using a great ice cream and fresh strawberries helped make it wonderful!
How will you celebrate National Strawberry Shortcake Day? I have more milkshake….come on over!

I can’t make this milkshake today because I have a cough. So bad since I want to drink this one. Probably next day.
Very delicious strawberry milkshake. It seems the process is very simple so I will make it today.
Super yummy!
You really make a very delicious milkshake. In fact, I feel thirsty while just looking on the photo.
I always love to make drinks and tasting it. Well, I like your strawberry milkshake.
Oh, I love this National Strawberry Shortcake Day. I love your Strawberry Shortcake Milkshake. I want to taste it.
OMGosh – I love strawberries and angel food cake. I can’t wait to try this!
This looks amazing! I’m going to have to give it a try for one of our bbq get-togethers coming up. 🙂
What an awesome recipe! Plus mouth watering pictures!

Wow, that looks delicious! Great idea!
This looks divine! How is the thickness? My shakes always seem to be too thick, and I’m wondering how the angel food cake would effect the thickness. I’d love if you shared this on my foodie friday as well!
YUM. I would have never thought of doing this, and now I totally have to try it!
oh my goodness, I just made a strawberry shake last night. But this sounds even better. Making this in the next few days!
Great idea and great recipe 🙂
