Instructions
- Make the Pavlova: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw three 8-inch circles on the parchment paper (I traced 8-inch parchment rounds, but you could cake pans or anything else about the same diameter). Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, then add the cream of tartar. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat to soft peaks. While continuing to beat the egg whites, gradually add the granulated sugar (I estimate that I added about 3 tablespoons at a time) and beat until glossy and stiff peaks form. Divide the meringue evenly between the three circles and use an offset spatula to form a circular shape.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Turn off the oven and prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon. Allow the pavlova to cool completely in the oven.
- Make the Whipped Cream: Place the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat on medium-high speed until it holds soft peaks.
- Assemble the Cake: Very gently lift one of the pavlova layers off of the parchment paper and place on a serving plate. Top with one-third of the whipped cream, and sprinkle with a mixture of raspberries, blueberries, and chopped strawberries (I didn't measure how much I used, feel free to use a little or a lot!). Gently place another pavlova layer on top of the fruit, spread another one-third of the whipped cream and sprinkle with fruit. Finally, top with the last pavlova layer, remaining whipped cream and more fruit. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
