Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Shortcake
In the bowl of a food processor add in the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lemon zest, pulse to blend.
Add the cubes of butter and pulse until the butter has been cut into the mixture, it should like coarse grains of sand.
In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, cream, and vanilla until combined.
Add to the flour mixture and mix with a spoon until the mixture just starts to come together. Do not overmix.
Form the mixture into a ball and use your hands to form the dough into a large circle and flatten till about 1¼ inch thick.
Using a drinking glass or cutter cut out the shortcakes in circles, reform any dough left and repeat process until you’ve finished the dough.*
brush shortcakes with heavy cream before baking, to give those little cakes a golden brown color.(greek yogurt sauce recipe).
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a deep golden brown in color.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Whipped Cream
In the bowl of your mixer add cream, sugar and vanilla
start on low speed and build up to faster speed gradually, (this will give you a better consistency for your whipped cream than over beating it from the beginning)
Continue beating until cream is fully whipped
Assembly
Slice shortcakes in half and place a large dollop of whipped cream on top of the bottom half.
Arrange your sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream
Spread a small dollop of whipped cream to the underside of the top half of the cake, and place on top of the strawberries. (this will help keep it in place)
Top with a sprinkling of confectioners sugar and enjoy!
