Next stop was Rambla with the shops of course and the amazing Boqueria, Placa Catalunya and we wanted to go up to Tibidabo but it was open only in the weekend so we went back to Sant Boi for a little bit of shopping. 

Enjoy the pictures and see you in the next post with the pictures from Barcelona after Iulia left and I wandered alone on the streets.

It's weekend. Time to make something sweet. And as the usual a super easy recipe.

On today's menu we have  Pavlova, a meringue cake named after the russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. 

The cake is crusty on the outside and super soft on the inside and on top you can put whatever you want from vanilla/chocolate/whipped cream and fruits. 

And you only need 4 ingredients that I'm sure you have in your kitchen.

 Ingredients:

3 egg whites

150g caster sugar

2tsp vinegar

2tsp vanilla extract

For topping:
1 package whipped cream 
Strawberries


How to make:

Preheat the oven to 150C.
Beat the egg whites with a little bit of salt until it's smooth and then whisk in the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time. After you put half of the sugar add 1 tsp of vinegar and then continue with the sugar and at the end add the rest of the vinegar and vanilla. And continue mixing until the meringue looks glossy. Use a pencil and mark out the circumference of a dinner plate on baking paper and spread the meringue inside the circle.

Bon appétit!
