Cake eight

Pavlova with strawberries

It isn’t long since I first saw this cake on a book.. It was on my way back home from one of my trips to England and I was looking through one of the new books I had just bought when I read this name: Pavlova. I was kind of flashed back in one of the sumptuous balls at the court of the Tsars in Russia. It was  certainly a cake for a young princess, as it looked like a white silk chiffon evening dress.. It was love at first sight!

I was partly right: the cake was named after a famous Russian dancer, Anna Pavlova, and created in her  honour in one of her tours to Australia and New Zealand in the 1920’s. It’s a popular dish in both countries but formal research indicates New Zealand as the source.

Song: I’m so happy to dance with you

So what are you waiting for? Close your eyes and join in the dance
