I haven’t been able to find GF Bisquick in my area, but I am hoping I will be able to find it soon because I love this cake (w/o topping) in June when the strawberries are fresh in our area. Growing up the cake base was what we called Shortcake in our house! I definitely don’t want to miss out on it this summer!
