🍳 Equipment

  • 1 Sharp serrated knife (For clean slices)
  • 1 Plastic wrap or parchment paper (Used to roll and chill)
  • 1 Electric mixer (For whipping cream)
  • 1 Bamboo sushi mat (Optional, helps with rolling)
  • 1 Offset spatula (To spread filling evenly)
  • 1 Mixing bowl (Chill before whipping cream)

🛒 Ingredients

For the Cake Base

  • 1 loaf Pound cake or angel food cake - Slice lengthwise into thin sheets
  • OR vanilla sponge cake - Baked in jelly roll pan
  • 6 slices White bread - Crusts removed, flattened (easy version)

For the Filling

  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream - Cold
  • 2 tablespoon Powdered sugar - Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract - For flavor
  • 2–3 tablespoon Cream cheese - Optional for stability
  • 1 cup Fresh strawberries - Thinly sliced

For Assembly & Garnish

  • Plastic wrap or parchment paper - To help roll
  • Fresh strawberry slices - For topping
  • White chocolate - Melted, for drizzle
  • Strawberry glaze or jam - Optional
  • Crushed graham crackers - For crunch
  • Fresh mint leaves - For garnish

📋 Instructions

  • Slice pound cake (or use flattened white bread) into thin, flexible sheets. Lay overlapping slices on plastic wrap to form an 8x10-inch rectangle, pressing seams together to create one continuous layer.
  • In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes). For extra stability, beat in softened cream cheese.
  • Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange thinly sliced strawberries across two-thirds of the surface closest to you.
  • Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the cake tightly using the plastic wrap as a guide. Wrap the entire roll snugly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove plastic wrap, trim uneven ends, and cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices using a sharp serrated knife.
  • Arrange sushi slices on a platter. Top with strawberry slices, drizzle with white chocolate or glaze, and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers. Add mint leaves for color.
