Description

Pavlova or “Pav” as it’s commonly referred to is a meringue cake with a light, delicate, crust and a soft sweet inside.

Ingredients

• 3 oz of caster sugar
• 1.5 oz of granulated sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon of cornflour
• 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar
• 3 egg whites

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 225 °F (110 °C)
2. Combine egg whites and caster sugar into a large bowl and whisk it until you have a mixture that is smooth and glossy consistency. It should be quite a thick texture and will lift into a soft peak when you remove the whisk.
3. Fold in the granulated sugar, and also add the sifted cornflour and vinegar. Folding simply refers to using a wooden spoon to lift the mixture from the bottom of the bowl and turning it over. Do this once, turn the bowl a little bit and repeat this same process until all the ingredients in the mix are fully incorporated. Don’t overdo it because you want to maintain as much volume as possible.
