I love a good funnel cake. I seriously LOVE them. It’s one of the best things about the summer season. I have made quite a few on this site ranging from the classic fair variety to red velvet to even a chocolate and vanilla swirl version that I think is just plain genius! Speaking of genius, this new strawberry shortcake funnel cake recipe is just that as well.
Ingredients
- vegetable or canola oil
- all-purpose flour
- sugar
- baking powder
- salt
- milk
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- confectioner’s sugar
How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Funnel Cakes
I love these babies. After frying the funnel cake batter, the final result is fried dough that’s so tender and slightly sweet on the inside. Honestly, I love these more than doughnuts!
What makes this treat different?
This is a great summer treat. Simply add your powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream (strawberry would be awesome for an extra punch of flavor too!), mascerated strawberries and some whipped cream and you’ve got one of the best summertime desserts ever. Summer has never looked so good y’all. Get ready to try these babies. And I think they would be super fun for summer entertaining too! And I think I might just serve them along with my No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake recipe because that will get some great use out of these summer berries.

Instructions
For the Funnel Cakes:
- Heat oil in a pot to about 375 degrees.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl until combined.
- Next whisk in wet ingredients: milk, eggs and vanilla extract until the batter is nice and smooth.
- Add batter to a funnel, squeeze bottle or even a cake decorating piping bag with a round tip.
- Once oil is nice and hot, swirl batter in a spirally shape (have fun with this part) into the oil and fry. Turn over once the first side is nice and golden brown.
- Once both sides are golden brown, remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain. These babies fry fast!
