Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour (plus more for dredging blueberries)
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 cups blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. With an electric mixer, beat together egg yolks and milk. Set aside.
- Dredge your blueberries with enough flour to thinly coat. This helps the berries distribute more evenly in the batter, rather than sinking to the bottom. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
- To the sifted dry mixture, add sugar, beaten yolk and milk mixture and melted butter. Beat well.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff.
- Add egg whites and dredged blueberries to the flour mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to combine. The batter will look somewhat dry, like dough, but it will rise and become cake-like in the oven.
- Turn mixture into a well greased cake or loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Your cooking time may vary based on the width and depth of your cake pan. Let the cake cool in the pan (if you plan to transport it with the cake pan), or let it cool 15 minutes in pan then transfer to a wire rack to complete cooling. Slice and serve.
Notes
- You will also need: Mixing bowls, sifter, electric mixer, 10 inch loaf pan or round cake pan
- Adapted from One Hundred Picnic Suggestions by Linda Hull Larned, 1915
