STRAWBERRY BISCUIT SHEET CAKE
In this strawberry shortcake that feeds a crowd, a tender biscuit cushions a cloud of lightly sweetened cream and a tumble of juiced-up berries. Peaches, plums, or nectarines can be swapped in for the strawberries if you prefer.

Steps:
- Biscuit: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk; stir until just combined.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead once or twice to help it come together. Pat into a 10-by-7-inch rectangle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut length‑wise into thirds, then crosswise into fourths to create 12 equal pieces. Using a spatula, transfer to a 9 1/2-by-12 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet or other pan, arranging pieces to roughly re-create original rectangle but leaving 1/2 inch between them.
- Brush tops with cream; sprinkle generously with sanding sugar. Bake, rotating sheet once, until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 28 minutes (gaps should be gone, so you have a single but easily separable biscuit). Let cool on sheet 10 minutes, then carefully lift with 2 large spatulas onto a wire rack. Let cool almost but not quite completely, about 1 hour.
- Berries and cream: Meanwhile, combine strawberries, granulated sugar, salt, and lemon juice; let stand, stirring occasionally, until juicy, about 30 minutes. Beat cream with vanilla and confectioners' sugar on mediumhigh speed to stiff peaks.
- Carefully slide biscuit onto a serving platter. Spoon 2 cups whipped cream over biscuit; top with 3 cups berry mixture, drizzling with some juices. Sprinkle with berry powder; serve immediately, with remaining whipped cream and berries on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Separate the biscuits and arrange in a 9-inch round cake pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the biscuit tops with the demerara sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool completely in the pan.
- Put the jelly in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Add the strawberries and toss to evenly coat in the jelly.
- Pour the heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Whip until soft peaks form. Add the sour cream and granulated sugar. Whip to medium peaks.
- Remove the biscuit cake from the pan and slice in half horizontally with a serrated knife, being careful to keep the biscuits together. Pour 5 cups of the glazed strawberries onto the bottom biscuit half. Top with the other biscuit half. Dollop the whipped cream onto the biscuit and top the center with the remaining cup of glazed strawberries. Sprinkle with candied pecans before serving.
