Avocado Sushi Cake Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

For the Sushi Layers:
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 ripe avocados, thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 8 oz smoked salmon, sashimi-grade salmon, or cooked shrimp (optional)
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into strips or small pieces
For Garnish:
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (black or white)
  • 2 tbsp green onions or chives, finely sliced
  • Soy sauce or tamari (for serving)
  • Pickled ginger and wasabi (optional)

Tips for Success:

  • Keep layers uniform for a stable and visually stunning cake.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal and clean presentation.
  • Chill before serving to let the layers set and the flavors meld.

How to Make Avocado Sushi Cake:

1. Cook the Sushi Rice:

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Combine the rice and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. Let sit, covered, for another 10 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

2. Prepare the Pan:

  • Lightly grease a springform pan or line a cake pan with plastic wrap for easy removal.

3. Assemble the Layers:

  1. Spread half of the sushi rice evenly across the bottom of the pan, pressing it gently to create a firm base.
  2. Add a layer of sliced avocado, overlapping the slices for full coverage.
  3. Add a layer of cucumber slices, then a layer of shredded carrots.
  4. If using, add a layer of smoked salmon or shrimp. Sprinkle with pieces of nori.
  5. Top with the remaining sushi rice and press gently but firmly.

4. Garnish the Cake:

  • Carefully remove the cake from the pan. Decorate the top with sliced avocado, sesame seeds, green onions, or chives.

5. Serve:

  • Slice the sushi cake like a pie and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
