Equipment

  • 1 Electric Whisk Optional

Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams caster sugar
  • 4 tsp instant espresso powder (not instant coffee granules)
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar

For the topping:

  • 500 ml double cream plus 4 Tbsp Kahlua, 2 Tbsp icing sugar & 2 tsp extra espresso powder
  • Cocoa powder
  • A handful of hazelnuts, lightly toasted and skins removed, then chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 130°C (265°F). Line a flat oven sheet with baking parchment and, using a 23cm/9inch cake tin, draw a circle on it. Turn the parchment over so that the drawn circle is underneath but still showing through.
  • Mix the sugar with the instant espresso powder in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a clean, grease-free metal bowl whisk the egg whites and salt until they are holding soft peaks (I used an electric mixer). Keep whisking while you add the sugar-coffee mixture about a tablespoon at a time.
  • Once the mixture is stiff and glossy and the sugar is completely dissolved, add in the sifted cornflour and vinegar and fold in using a large metal spoon.
  • Dollop the meringue mixture inside the drawn circle. Smooth and shape it with a spatula so that it is flat on top.
  • Put it in the oven and and cook for an hour. Switch off the oven and leave inside until cool (I always leave mine in overnight).
  • Close to serving time, transfer the pavlova carefully to a serving plate (I use a large plate sized metal spatula).
  • Pour the cream into a large bowl and add the coffee powder, icing sugar and Kahlua. Whip until thick but soft and spread over the top of the meringue (don’t add the cream until you’re ready to serve as it will soften the meringue). Sieve some cocoa over top of the cream and sprinkle over the toasted hazelnuts.

Notes

NB: Store leftovers in the fridge and eat within a day.
