A shortcake is defined by wikipedia as ”a sweet biscuit (in the American sense: that is, a crumbly, baking soda- or baking powder-leavened bread, known in British English as a scone), and a dessert made with that biscuit.”  here’s a photo.

But this is what we all now accept as a strawberry shortcake. The point is whichever way you want to call it, it is by far the most popular request we have for cakes.
