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.
