Australian Pavlova

4 egg whites
pinch of salt
1 cup castor sugar (granulated sugar)
1teaspoon vinegar
1teaspoon cornflour
1teaspoon vanilla
lots of whipped cream and any fruit for decoration eg. Banana’s, strawberries, passionfruit etc

Preheat oven to 300F (150C) before you start doing any preparation. Beat egg whites and salt together until stiff enough to form peaks.  Sift sugar and add very slowly, beating it at a high speed until all sugar is dissolved.  Lastly fold in cornflour, vinegar and vanilla – gently.

Pile mixture on a tray with grease proof paper.  Shape the pile into a circle using a spatula to mould sides so that they are a little higher than the rest of the cake.

Bake in the bottom of the oven for 1.5 hours or until quite firm to touch.  Turn oven off and leave pavlova in oven until its cool.

Whip the cream and spread on top, placing fruit as desired or even grated chocolate.

Enjoy
