What is pavlova made of?

Pavlova is a meringue cake (whipped egg whites and sugar) baked in the oven. This makes it crisp on the outside and fluffy, marshmallowy on the inside. Pavlova is usually decorated with cream, summer fruits like raspberries and strawberries and passionfruit pulp.

What is the story behind pavlova?

Pavlova has a very interesting backstory. It was actually named after Anna Pavlova, a Russian prima ballerina who was famous for her beauty and enchanting dancing.
