Recipe Description
Wonderful summertime dessert! Fresh strawberries, with just a hint of the orange Grand Marnier, were made for this shortcake and are amazing topped with the fresh vanilla bean whipped cream.
I have substituted Splenda and it hasn't affected the flavor but prefer the real sugar in the strawberries.

Preheat oven to 350'.
