RICH STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

The base for this recipe came from my mom's 1965 copy of Better Homes and Gardens "Just Desserts" cookbook. There several versions of shortcake listed but this one is delicious and the addition of orange zest to the cake and orange juice to the strawberries is great boost to the flavors of summer!
