Ingredients

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

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan. * I used a 9" round pan*

Cream butter or margarine 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 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 50 minutes, or until cake tests done.
