Mango Sushi Cake — perfect for summer, this refreshing and elegant take on sushi is truly the dish of the season! With fresh mangos and a crispy tofu filling, summer entertaining will be incomplete without this!

WATCH HOW TO MAKE MANGO SUSHI CAKE:

We’ll start by marinating our tofu with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, cornstarch, and red chili powder. Give this a mix and let air fry until golden brown and crispy.

To cooked sushi rice, we’ll add furikake, sesame seeds, and rice vinegar. Gently mix this together and we’re ready to make our filling!

To our crispy tofu, we’ll add onions, corn, carrots, bell peppers, pineapples, mayo, sriracha, and spring onions. You can totally customize these veggies based on what you have available and give this a mix.

To assemble, grease a mold and add a layer of rice, followed by some sliced cucumbers. And now for our main ingredient, we’ll add our sweet and juicy, in-season mangos. Top this off with our veggies and another layer of sushi rice.

You can even assemble these in an individual size which makes for an adorable presentation that’s perfect for more intimate parties. I love to garnish these with sesame seeds, furikake, spring onions, edible flowers, avocado, and spicy mayo.

Instructions

1. For the crispy tofu, mix together all the ingredients. Air fry or bake at 350℉ / 175 ℃ for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and crisp. You can also pan fry these with a little oil.

2. For the veggie filling, mix together all the ingredients with the crispy tofu.

3. For the sushi rice, gently mix together all the ingredients.

4. To assemble, grease a mold or cake pan with some oil. I used a bundt cake pan for my sushi cake.

   1st layer - Rice: Add a layer at the bottom with half of the rice, pressing gently.

   2nd layer - Cucumbers : Then apply a layer of sliced cucumbers.

   3rd layer - Mangoes: Now spread a layer of mangoes on top.

   4th layer - Tofu & Veggies: Apply a layer of tofu and veggie mixture, pressing gently.

   5th layer - Finally add a layer at the top with rest of the rice, pressing gently.

   Make sure that the rice layers are packed in nicely as this will help in unmolding and retaining the shape of the cake.

5. When you’re ready to serve it, place a plate on top of the serving dish, flip it upside down and unmold the sushi cake on to the plate.

6. Garnish with furikake seasoning, sesame seeds, sriracha mayo, avocado, and green onions. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger! Enjoy!
