This was fun! I knew people would have a hissy-fit about 2 things: 1) What is Hummingbird Cake?! (I have had it in the south, but it's pretty rare--Coconut or Red Velvet are much more common cakes). 2) You made strawberry shortcake with a biscuit! (It's not a biscuit--it's 'shortcake' literally - a sweetened biscuit type dough). I grew up with the little plastic-wrapped sponge cake pre-made version, with frozen canned strawberries & Cool Whip. I thought it was amazing! Much later I had the actual traditional shortbread type with fresh macerated strawberries and fresh whipped cream. I thought it was even better! At this point, I think they are both valid, and the sponge cake version is probably more popular now because it's easier and has been around since at least 1970. Now let's show some southerners eating some Irish Fruit Cake (and dying of sadness, lol).

If you've got a pound cake in the freezer, or if you see an angel food cake in the bakery or if you're home and have none of the above, you make biscuits...it's ALL good people. Just use fresh berries, whip up some fresh cream, and all good!

[@flamingpieherman9822]

I think that they should have used a bit more of these mashed strawberries in their natural juices they just slicing strawberries and putting them in there. However for the true Southern experience you have to use biscuits! This newfangled use pound cake using angel food cake thing started happening in the late 70s and I think this younger generation just took it on because it tasted sweeter. The sweetness comes from the mashed berries and Cool Whip

Real strawberry shortcake is NOT made with pound cake. What they served is exactly right. It’s like a crumbly biscuit and that one looked great.
