pavlova cake with winter fruits

If you''ve never tried a Pavlova cake, you might be flicking through this recipe right now and wondering what it is? Named after the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, a Pavlova cake is essentially a massive layer of meringue topped with whipped cream and fruit. Pavlova cakes are hugely popular in Australia, but they''re slowly creeping their way into American culture and ours.


We have to admit, a Pavlova cake is one of those cakes that is more difficult to make and, in principle, requires quite a bit of pastry skills. But, never mind! We''ve put together a few tips to make your cake just the way it should be.

  • Whisk the eggs before adding the sugar. Paul''s cake is made with meringue, which does not contain any leavening agents apart from the whisked egg whites, so you need to whisk the egg whites well before adding the other ingredients. Whisk the egg whites until soft and then slowly add the sugar. Continue beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Bake the meringue at a low temperature and slowly. To prevent the meringue from bursting, bake it at a low temperature for about one hour, then turn off the oven and leave the meringue in the warm oven for another hour. This will dry the meringue completely and help it to cool without bursting.
  • Only assemble the Pavlova cake once the meringue has really cooled down. Warm meringue will not be firm enough and the whipped cream added later will become runny.


The BAM vanilla paste will also play an important role in the preparation . The vanilla paste is alcohol-free and made from real bourbon vanilla extract from Madagascar, with vanilla seeds added to give your dish an attractive appearance.

Ingredients:

For Paul''s cake:

  • 4 egg whites
  • pinch of salt
  • a pinch of cream of tartar
  • 200 g sugar

For topping with winter fruits:

  • 355 ml sweet whipping cream
  • 50 g sugar
  • 2 teaspoons BAM vanilla paste
  • 2 peeled and sliced red oranges
  • 1 orange peeled and sliced into wheels
  • 2 teaspoons ground pistachios
  • a few teaspoons of balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions:

For the preparation of the Pavlova cake:

1
Preheat the oven to 80°C. Using a pencil, draw the outline of a 20 cm diameter cake tin on the baking paper. Turn the paper over and place it on the cookie tray. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until frothy. Add the salt and cream of tartar. Beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar until completely combined with the other ingredients.
2
Place the resulting meringue on the baking paper with a spoon and, using the back of a large spoon, push the meringue so that it expands into the circle drawn earlier. Make a large dimple in the centre of the meringue with the spoon.
3
Bake in the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the Pavlova cake in the oven for another hour. The meringue will dry completely within this hour. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
4
While the meringue is cooling, prepare the topping. In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream, sugar and BAM vanilla paste until soft peaks form on top. Spread over the Pavlova cake, then add the oranges, pistachios and balsamic glaze. Serve. You can also add apples, peaches or other fruit you like instead of the oranges, or simply add BAM toppings.
