Ingredients

• 1 ⁄2 cup butter, or margarine
• 1 ⁄2 cup white sugar
• 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 egg yolk
• 1 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 ⁄3 cup milk
• 2 egg white
• 1 ⁄4 cup white sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon white sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan.

Cream butter or margarine and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy. Add salt, vanilla extract, and egg yolks to the sugar mixture; beat until creamy.

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour and baking powder; add alternately with milk to egg yolk mixture. Coat blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour and add to batter.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into the batter. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
