Nigella Lawson makes a delicious cappuccino pavlova (also known as cap pav) on Saturday Kitchen for the festive season.

Nigella says: “I have long been a pavaholic but this is my first venture into a fruit-free version. The instant espresso powder (do not use regular instant coffee granules) gives bitter oomph to the sweet, marshmallowy meringue.”

The ingredients are: 250g caster sugar, 4 tsp instant espresso powder (not instant coffee granules), 4 free-range egg whites, pinch salt, 2 tsp cornflour, 1 tsp white wine vinegar, 300ml double cream and 1 tsp cocoa powder.
