Along with fresh blueberries and a few pantry staples, you can whip up this tasty and easy Blueberry Cake in no time. Whether you serve it for breakfast, as an after-dinner dessert, or anything in-between, it's certain to be a winner!
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8 inch (or equivalent) pan with baking spray. Set aside.
In a bowl cream together the butter and 1/2 cup sugar. Add in the salt and vanilla, and mix again to combine.
Next, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Reserve the whites. Add the egg yolks to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour with the baking powder. Add this mixture to the egg yolk mixture alternating with the milk. Coat the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. Add to the batter and fold gently to combine.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg white to form soft peaks. Add in 1/4 cup of sugar slowly, and beat to form stiff peaks. Fold this into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared ban. Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
