Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, until meringue is thick and glossy and sugar is dissolved. Rub a little meringue between your fingers, if it’s still gritty, continue to whisk until sugar dissolves. Add the vinegar and cornflour and fold until just combined.

Spoon the meringue onto the lined tray and use a spatula to shape into a 20cm disc. Bake in oven for 1 1/2 hours or until pavlova is dry to the touch. Turn off oven and leave, with the door ajar, to cool completely. Transfer to a serving plate. Use an electric mixer to whisk the cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.

Preheat oven to 140°C (120°C fan-forced). Line bases of three 23cm cake pans with baking paper, or lay three 23cm rounds of baking paper on baking trays.

Combine: sugar, cornflour and spices in a bowl. Using electric beaters, whisk the eggwhites until stiff peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar mixture and beat until meringue is stiff and shiny. Fold in remaining sugar mixture as gently as possible to keep the meringue light and aerated. Sift over the cocoa and fold in, leaving a rippled effect. Divide among pans or trays and spread over bases, leaving 5mm around edges. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake for 1 hour, then leave to cool in switched-off oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool completely.
