Summer Berry Layered Pavlova

June 18

This mix makes a chewy, marshmallow meringue, which goes perfectly with the cream and berries. Layering the meringue discs gives this beautiful summer dish fantastic texture! If you haven’t tried making meringues before, don’t be scared as this mix is fairly fool proof, just pop the icing sugar and egg whites in a mixer and whisk till you have stiff glossy peaks, add in the cornflour and white wine vinegar, pop in the oven and you’re sorted.

Classic Victoria Sandwich

A classic Victoria sandwich is the kind of recipe that can divide families! Do you use strawberry or raspberry jam? Do you put cream inside or serve on the side? Do you sprinkle caster or icing sugar on the top? All I know is I LOVE this sponge cake! I like to use strawberry jam and cream to sandwich them together and finish with a light dusting of icing sugar. I let you decide how you want to serve yours!

Strawberries really should be celebrated with over the top desserts and if you want to look beyond the simplicity and utter deliciousness of strawberries and cream then this is the cake for you! When you are assembling the layers of cake make sure you give it an extra little squeeze to ensure those mouth watering dribbles of jam down the sides.

Boozy Chocolate Mocha Pavlova cake

December 21

If you’re a little disorganised, like me this Christmas, and haven’t been soaking your Christmas cake since October, then you might be on the lookout for a cheat’s Christmas dessert. This very simple boozy pavlova cake is full of Christmas cheer and can be made earlier and assembled at the last minute. You can play around with the fillings, use winter berries or drizzle with dulche de leche… it’s the perfect way to end a celebratory meal.
