Perfect for parties or quick treats, this recipe requires no baking and is ready in under 20 minutes, offering a fresh, flavorful, and customizable way to enjoy the classic strawberry shortcake in a fun new format.

Ingredients

For the Cake Base

  • Angel Food Cake, thinly sliced (about 1/2 inch thick slices, flexible for rolling)

For the Filling

  • Fresh Strawberries, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • Whipped Cream (about 1 cup, plus extra for topping)

For Finishing

  • Strawberry Jam or Sauce (for drizzling)
  • Parchment Paper or Plastic Wrap (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Base: Slice the angel food cake horizontally into thin, flexible sheets that will be easy to roll. Ensure they are soft yet sturdy enough to hold the filling when rolled like sushi.
  2. Spread the Whipped Cream: Place a sheet of parchment paper on your workspace, then lay a slice of cake over it. Evenly spread a thin layer of whipped cream on top, leaving a small border on the edges to facilitate rolling.
  3. Add Sliced Strawberries: Arrange thin strawberry slices evenly over the whipped cream. These fresh slices will provide a juicy burst in every bite.
  4. Roll the Sushi: Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the cake and filling into a tight sushi roll. Apply gentle but firm pressure to ensure it holds together well.
  5. Slice and Finish: Cut the roll into sushi-sized pieces with a sharp knife. Optionally, drizzle with strawberry jam or sauce and add an extra dollop of whipped cream on top for an elegant presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries and quality whipped cream for the best flavor.
  • Refrigerate the rolled cake for 10-15 minutes before slicing to firm it up for clean cuts.
  • Use a serrated or sharp knife to avoid squishing the roll when cutting.
  • Keep the whipped cream layer thin to maintain a compact roll that’s easy to eat.
  • Customize by adding small diced fruits or nuts inside for extra texture.
