Equipment

  • Bamboo sushi mat
  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients
  

For the Cake Base

  • 1 loaf Pound Cake Can be store-bought or homemade. Tip: Angel food cake offers a lighter texture.

For the Cream Layer

  • 1 cup Whipped Cream or Cool Whip Add creaminess; substitute with dairy-free whipped cream for a vegan option.

For the Fruit

  • 2 cups Fresh Strawberries Finely diced for even distribution. Substitute with other fruits like mango, kiwi, or bananas for a tropical flavor.
  • ¼ cup Optional Strawberry Jam or Puree For an extra layer of sweetness. Use fresh puree to enhance fruitiness.

For the Toppings

  • Optional Toppings (Graham Cracker Crumbs, Sprinkles, Shredded Coconut) For added texture and visual appeal.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake Base: Slice the pound cake into thin rectangles, about ¼ inch thick. Lay the slices flat on a clean surface.
  • Make the Whipped Cream Filling: Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whip until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse fresh strawberries, pat dry, trim tops, and dice into small pieces for balanced distribution.
  • Assemble the Rolls: Place a rectangle of cake on a bamboo mat, spread whipped cream, add diced strawberries, and drizzle jam if desired.
  • Roll the Sushi: Lift the edge of the bamboo mat and roll the cake away from you tightly, sealing the edges with cream.
  • Slice the Rolls: Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces to reveal the layers.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Arrange sliced sushi on a plate and sprinkle optional toppings. Serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

Chill ingredients for firmer filling and easier rolling. Use uniform cake slices for seamless rolls, and a sharp knife for clean cuts. Serve fresh for optimal quality.
