Well it seems that there is a reason for that
"Strawberry shortcake is one of America's favorite desserts. The name derives from being made "short," a word dating back to the fifteenth century which basically means crisp from the use of fat. In England, the word shortcake is synonymous with the Scottish shortbread, a crisp and butter-rich cookie-like pastry."
