Pavlova
Pavlova is a meringue-based cake with a light, crisp crust, a soft marshmallow center and, typically, a topping of whipped cream and fresh fruit. Called "Pav" for short, this dessert was named after Russian dancer Anna Pavlova after one of her tours to Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s.
