LAMINGTON PAVLOVA STACK

Australia Day is just around the corner and to celebrate, I stacked 2 Aussie favourites together to create this Lamington Pavlova Stack.

INGREDIENTS

Base

• 6 egg whites
• 1 tablespoon cornflour
• 1 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 1/3 caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar

Topping

• 200ml pure cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 3 lamington squares broken into pieces ( I used store-bought lamingtons)
• Chocolate sauce to drizzle (I used ice magic)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 180°C and line a large baking tray with non-stick paper. Dust tray lightly with corn flour.
2. Using an electric mixer, mix egg whites and cream of tartar on high until soft peaks form.
3. Slowly add sugar and corn flour while mixing until thick and glossy.
4. Fold through vinegar and vanilla essence.
5. Spoon mix onto the tray in two circles, shape with a spatula. I like to draw a circle on the opposite side of the paper for even round bases.
6. Bake for around 1 hour or until the base has hardened. Once cooked, open oven door and allow to cool slowly to prevent the base from sinking.
7. Using an electric mixer, beat cream, vanilla and icing sugar until thick.
8. Once the base is cool, spread cream on the first layer and drizzle jam, chocolate sauce and sprinkle lamington pieces on the top.
9. Repeat on the top layer and serve.

ENJOY!
