What if we told you that you can make a Pavlo cake without having to heat up the kitchen with an oven?
With this simple recipe – Airfryer Pavlova cake – you can make a fluffy meringue base without spending hours cooking it!
Pavlova was created as a tribute to the ballerina Anna Pavlova. Airfryer Pavlova cake is an adapted version of the classic Pavlova cake, which is traditionally baked in the oven. The difference is that in this case an airfryer is used.
Air fryer enables faster baking using hot air, which creates the crispy exterior and soft interior of a Pavlova. The preparation is simple – whipped egg whites, baked until the outer shell is crispy and the inside has the texture of a marshmallow. The fillings can be adapted to the season or occasion – usually a combination of gently whipped cream and fruit.
