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…

One day at the beginning of November I came home f One day at the beginning of November I came home from farmers’ market where I bought pumpkin, chestnuts, grapes and pomegranate. Those are some of my favourite produce to eat as well as photograph in Autumn so I arranged this simple scene to capture their beauty. It’s simple and possibly ‘nothing special’ but I like it and hope you do too. I’m more and more drawn to simplicity, imperfection, beauty of ‘ordinary’, everyday little life moments. ❤️

I’m always on the other side of the camera so I I’m always on the other side of the camera so I have very few photos of myself. Funny thing is I see beauty in everyone but I’m very camera shy and usually avoid being in front of the lens. 😅 But this time one of the guests at the workshop in Istria took some photos of me where he captured my personality pretty well so for a change, here I am! Thank you Guillermo! 🧡

Summer is still here but I’m slowly getting excited about the next season and all the beauty it brings! ☺️❤️
