Berry Pavlova Cake Recipe
This pavlova is light, airy and filled with all the best summer berries. A sweet end to a sweet day! Meringue is neither complicated or time consuming. It takes some time to bake/dry out in the oven, but your oven does all of the work. It is crisp on the outside and marshmallowy soft inside.

How to Make a Berry Pavlova:
2
Preheat the Oven to 250˚F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
Using the whisk attachment on your stand mixer, beat 6 egg whites and 1 1/2 cups sugar for 6 to ⏱️ 7 minutes on high speed, or until stiff peaks form. The mixture will be smooth and glossy.

5
Transfer immediately to a large sheet of parchment paper and use spatula to form a 10" round ring, making a deep indent in the center to accommodate the cream and berries later. The center will rise so make a substantial well in the center.
6
Bake at 250˚F for ⏱️ 1 hour and ⏱️ 30 minutes. Then turn off the oven and with door closed, let it sit inside the oven another ⏱️ 1 hour until cooled. You can keep it in the oven longer to cool since the oven will be off and you might have dinner plans ;). Remove pavlova from oven and let cool completely to room temp then cover and and let stand in a dry, room temp room up to 2 days or assemble and serve right away.

How to Make the Topping:
8
Beat 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream with 2 Tbsp sugar on high speed ⏱️ 2-3 minutes or until frosting is stiff and spreadable but don't over beat or it will become buttery. (note: you can make cream ahead of time, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use).
9
Just before serving, spread whipped cream over the pavlova and top with plenty of your favorite berries. Refrigerate leftovers. It's best served right away.
