Everyone misunderstands the word “shortcake.” Our local diner has a huge cake with white icing and strawberries which they call “strawberry shortcake,” presumably because it has strawberries.
Shortcake a very small biscuit-type cake that you can make the classic dessert out of.
Yep.
My word play in post #5 had nothing to do with shortcake until post #15. :-)
