There was none left, first time I've made it, took it to a barbie. I put vanilla yoghurt on top to keep the calories down haha and just some blueberries, strawberries and passionfruit. Haven't made it since cause I'd eat the lot.

Your's looks divine Relle!

okay i know i can google this, but for the sake of others who dont know...what is a pavlova cake? looks goooood

It's New Zealand's national desert!
Made with a meringue (egg white fluffed up and baked) and topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits. There are variations, of course.

As per our ever useful Wikipedia:

Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova.[1] Colloquially referred to as "pav", it is a cake similar to meringue with a crispy crust and soft, light inner.[2] The name is pronounced /pævˈloʊvə/ or /pɑːvˈloʊvə/, unlike the name of the dancer, which was /ˈpɑːvləvə/ or /ˈpævləvə/.[3][4][5]

The dessert is believed to have been created in honour of the dancer either during or after one of her tours to Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. The nationality of its creator has been a source of argument between the two nations for many years, but formal research indicates New Zealand as the more probable source.[2]

The dessert is a popular dish and an important part of the national cuisine of both countries, and is frequently served during celebratory and holiday meals.

Known as pavlova or pav ... no need for cake, as pavlova is usually a dessert (maybe known as a sweet in some countries) ... and we Kiwi's are proud to acknowledge it as ours!

Yep, you can find them in the dessert section of the supermarket, where all the ice-cream toppings etc. are. They are soooo cheap, and are great to whip up as a last-minute dessert. Love them!
