Description

Shortcake Sushi is a delightful twist on the classic strawberry shortcake, rolled sushi-style with fluffy vanilla sponge cake, fresh strawberries, and sweet whipped cream. This no-bake, visually stunning dessert is easy to prepare and perfect for parties or special occasions, offering a fun way to enjoy the flavors of strawberry shortcake in bite-sized sushi rolls.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 sheet vanilla sponge cake (approx. 9×13 inches)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2–3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam (optional)
  • 1/4 cup melted white chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, creating a sweet and fluffy topping for the sponge cake.
  2. Prepare the Sponge Cake: Lay the vanilla sponge cake flat on parchment paper and trim the edges to form a neat rectangle for easier rolling.
  3. Add Jam and Cream Layers: Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the surface of the cake, then layer the whipped cream on top, smoothing it out to cover the cake completely.
  4. Arrange Strawberries: Place the sliced strawberries in a neat line near the edge of the cake closest to you, setting up the roll’s filling.
  5. Roll the Cake: Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the cake forward to form a tight log, encasing the cream and strawberries inside.
  6. Chill the Roll: Wrap the rolled cake securely and refrigerate for 45 to 60 minutes to allow it to set and hold its shape.
  7. Slice and Serve: Remove the cake roll from the fridge and slice it into 1-inch pieces. Garnish with melted white chocolate drizzle or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving to add an elegant finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use cold heavy cream straight from the fridge to ensure it whips properly.
  • Chilling the roll helps it hold shape when sliced; do not skip this step.
  • Strawberry jam is optional but adds extra fruit flavor and moisture.
  • Melted white chocolate or powdered sugar enhances presentation and sweetness.
  • Serve immediately after slicing for best texture and freshness.
