Strawberry Pavlova cake

May 9, 2019 By travellingoven 4 Comments

I’m really enjoying the strawberry season and eating them almost every day, mostly fresh or in smoothies for breakfast (like this Strawberry banana smoothie) or as a special little treat in the form of Strawberry banana ice cream. But I had a cake on my mind these days and thought what better combination than light and fluffy Pavlova with sweet juicy strawberries! That is a cake that is great for any occasion and even if it’s simple to make, it has that wow effect and you can be sure that your family/guests/yourself will love it, specially if they like strawberries and who doesn’t, right?!  🙂

I don’t eat this kind of desserts often. Those of you who are here with me for a longer time know already that I’m more a ‘healthier treats kind of girl’ but that doesn’t mean that occasionally I don’t like to indulge in something a bit more decadent like a luscious chocolate cake or Pavlova with whipped cream and strawberries. And when I do oh I make sure to truly enjoy every single bite, the little things in life are everything!

Some of you, specially those who follow me on my social media pages (Facebook @travellingoven and Instagram @lili.basic), have noticed that my work went into direction of photography but I definitely still want to keep posting here as my blog is so important to me. There will be still some recipes from time to time, hopefully some more travel stories and I’m also planning to start writing some different kind of posts that I hope will be interesting to you.

Photography is of course the main part of the whole story but I do enjoy writing too and sharing this little corner of Internet with you dear people. I would love to know what would you want to see more of here on Travelling oven? It is always so helpful to get your feedback, messages and comments! Also, don’t forget to subscribe to blog so you don’t miss out on any news and content that I will be sharing in the future…

It was an early afternoon and this little farmers’ market was closing as I asked the woman selling the flowers if I could take a photo. She sounded almost embarrassed and said ‘oh you should have come earlier when my flowers were in their full beauty and the display was much prettier, I’m afraid they won’t make a nice photo now..’ I replied that they are beautiful and that I would very much like to take a photo of them. And afterwards I thought how I haven’t even noticed that they weren’t ‘perfect’ anymore. I guess I have always been drawn to ‘imperfection’ and find great beauty in it. ☺️✨✨✨
I absolutely love Wabi Sabi, The Japanese Art of Impermanence, an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
Wabi-Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.❤️
Few scenes from beautiful island and town Rab..💛 There are places that have that special atmosphere and good energy that is difficult to put into words. You simply have to be there to feel it. But I hope these few images give you a bit of that wonderful vibe…✨

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
