Getting our bake on with blueberry cake

The Quatchis are really getting the hang of this baking gig. We've been in the kitchen a lot lately. 'Tis a good thing too because we're behind in our monthly baking.

My mum had a bunch of ripe blueberries that she wanted me to use. I found the following recipe and thought, ooooohhh, this is gonna be a good one!

Melt In Your Mouth Blueberry Cake

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 egg yolks

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/3 cup milk

2 egg whites

1/4 cup white sugar

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon white sugar

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

Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy. Add salt and vanilla. Separate eggs and reserve the whites. Add 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 berries 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 batter. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle top with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

Bake for about 50 minutes.
