Ingredients
  

For the sushi
  • 8 ounce pound cake Can substitute with angel food cake for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Ensure it is well-chilled.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor enhancement.
  • 8 medium strawberries Hull and slice them for the filling.
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam For drizzling before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form.
  2. Hull and slice the strawberries thinly.
  3. Lay the pound cake on a piece of plastic wrap or a sushi rolling mat. Gently flatten into a rectangle.
  4. Spread whipped cream over the flattened cake, leaving a small edge for rolling. Arrange sliced strawberries on top.
  5. Using the plastic wrap or sushi mat, roll the cake tightly into a log shape, sealing the edges.
  6. Chill the rolled sushi in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, peel away the plastic wrap and slice the log into 12 even pieces.
  8. Drizzle with strawberry jam before serving.

Notes

For better presentation, arrange the sliced sushi on a vibrant platter with mint leaves. Pair with whipped cream or a light beverage.
