Not Your Average Shortcake

5 fresh takes on an old classic. [15% off select pizza favorites - ends tonight!]( [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 507 [Chocolate Biscuits ]( Kye Ameden Associate Recipe Editor Shortcake is the ultimate summer food. It's everything a warm-weather dish should be: sweet and juicy, cool and creamy, and possible to eat one-handed if you're willing to get a little messy. (It's nothing a quick swim can't fix.) Shortcake has it all with its macerated fruit, whipped cream topping, and biscuity base. It's summertime perfection. I'm willing to bet you're imagining [Strawberry Shortcake]( right now, with its ruby red berries and dreamy, creamy whipped topping. While Strawberry Shortcake certainly is the traditional and most ubiquitous form of this dish, it is not the only way to make a stellar summer shortcake. If you add a little [cocoa](, [espresso powder](, and [mini chocolate chips]( to the biscuit dough and shower the whole thing in [sparkling sugar](, you end up with [Chocolate Biscuits]( that beg to be transformed into shortcake. Split one in half, add some raspberries and a dollop of [whipped cream]( — imagine that paired with your morning cup of coffee and tell me you wouldn't go on to have the best day ever. While we're thinking outside the shortcake box, consider [Almond Flour Shortcakes](. Made with a combination of [all-purpose]( and [almond flour](, the biscuits are slightly nutty but oh-so buttery. They serve as the base for these [Spiced Peach Shortcakes](, which come complete with warm spices, bourbon whipped cream, and a touch of hot honey. If that's a little too "extra" for you, our [Blueberry Shortcakes]( might be just what you're looking for. The berries are complemented with bursts of lime and [ginger](, but it hits all the same notes of a classic shortcake. Off to try them all, Kye This week at King Arthur Feeling hot? Relax. We've got you with the [best frosting for hot weather](. See what happens if a [churro swallowed a cupcake](. The [prettiest upside-down cake]( you've ever seen doesn't have any pineapple in it.
