WINTER CITRUS PAVLOVA
So last week I was in LA. The weather was 50°F. Meanwhile in Detroit it got up to 65°F or something. But of course now that I’m back in Detroit, it’s apocalypse snowing and absolutely frigid outside. It’s like the warm weather gods are trying to be as far away from me as possible. But whatever. I’m not going to get mad. I’m going to embrace it.
So because it’s very much still winter wherever I go, I am making winter-themed desserts. Like this Winter Citrus Pavlova Cake. Fluffy, white, snowlike… fitting, right? Pavlovas are traditionally a warmer-weather dish because they’re so light and airy. But honestly, I like them year-round. I mean… just look at this baby. Why limit yourself to it for only 3 months of the year?
What is pavlova?
If you’ve never tried a pavlova cake before, you might be looking at these recipe photos and thinking, what is that?! Named after the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, a pavlova cake is essentially massive layers of meringue that are topped with whipped cream and fruit (a fruit curd or jelly sometimes sneaks its way into pavlova recipes too) , and they’re slowly creeping into American culture.
