Ingredients
  

For the sushi rolls
  • 8 ounces pound cake (store-bought or homemade) If short on time, a store-bought pound cake works just fine.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For fluffy whipped cream.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can use almond extract for variation.
  • 8 medium strawberries Fresh is best! Can substitute with other berries.
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam For drizzling before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a chilled bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form.
  2. Hull and thinly slice the strawberries, keeping them neat for presentation.
  3. Flatten the pound cake on a piece of plastic wrap or a sushi rolling mat, pressing it down into a rectangle.
  4. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the flattened pound cake and arrange the strawberry slices in a single layer on top.
  5. Using the plastic wrap or sushi mat, carefully roll the cake into a tight log shape, sealing the edges.
  6. Refrigerate the roll for at least 30 minutes to firm it up.
  7. Once firm, peel away the plastic wrap and slice the roll into 12 even pieces. Drizzle with strawberry jam before serving.
