This is a big moment for this blog...
I will include the recipe of a divine cake, the one that is needed for an Indian summer period that we are having right now in my place...

Pavlova cake!!!

Gorgeous, royal, "sexy", summer-ish, full of anti-oxidants, tastes like heaven, ... whatever I will say, it will be less for this cake. Just try it yourself and you will see and taste what I mean ;)
Origins of the cake looks like to be New Zealand or Australia and the name comes from a known Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova (weird combination, I know). For the fans, check to verify all that by yourselves. Let's concentrate here with the essentials: how to make it!
I would like to thank Joachim, who likes to cook and inspired me with a similar recipe ;)
