Method
Rainbow pavlova cake
- 1Preheat oven to 120°C/100°C fan-forced. Line 4 oven trays with baking paper. Using a pencil and a 20cm plate as a guide, mark a disc on each piece of baking paper. Turn paper over.
- 2Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a large, clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until sugar dissolves and firm peaks form. Add cornflour and vinegar; beat until combined.
- 3Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Tint each portion with one of the food colourings. Spread each portion onto prepared trays. Bake for 1½ hours or until dry to the touch, swapping trays halfway during cooking. Using an electric mixer beat cream and vanilla in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
- 4To assemble pavlova, place the blue meringue on a serving platter. Spread with a quarter of the cream. Repeat layers finishing with cream. Top with fruit, mint and a dusting of icing sugar. Serve immediately.
