Mini sushi bundt cakes are a variation of the sushi bundt cake. This is one of the most controversial recipes I have ever shared by the way! They are a variation of rosca de sushi, which is super popular in my hometown in Mexico (Obregon, Sonora). I am well aware that it isn’t traditional sushi by any means but they are a fun way to eat it and serve your guests.
Why You’ll Love Mini Sushi Bundt Cakes
It is very easy to make and extremely versatile! Every time I serve it up for guests they are instantly impressed by how cute they look. Perfect way to serve up a small group of friends. If you are looking for a way to serve more people, you can also make these into a large sushi bundt, try my Salmon Sushi Bundt Cake !
Substitutions
There are several ways you can make these mini sushi bundt your own, if you don’t love salmon you can use tuna or yellowtail. If you prefer cooked seafood give my classic sushi bundt cake a try, but adjust it to the mini version. Quite easy to turn veggie by subbing the fish for mushrooms or even tofu! If you don’t have a mini bundt pan, you can use a muffin tin or individual ramikens, just make sure you grease those really well.
Recipe Tip
Cook your rice in a rice cooker the night before. Way better results in my opinion

- To asssemble the mini sushi bundts, you'll by spraying cooking oil on it. I used avocado oil, but rubbing in sesame oil works well.
