INGREDIENTS
- 300 grams Blueberries
- 125 grams Butter
- 160 grams Sugar
- 100 grams Self raising flour
- 100 grams Plain flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 60 ml Milk
- 40 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 Lemon zest
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 180C (conventional oven and not on air, to help the cake rise).
Cream the butter/margarine with 100gr sugar until it becomes fluffy. Separate the eggs, reserve the whites and add the yolks along with the salt and vanilla. Beat the mixture until it's creamy. Combine the flour with the baking powder and the milk with the lemon juice. Add both into your mixture slowly, alternating from one to the other until everything is incorporated, before you add the blueberries and the lemon zest.
In a separate bowl start making your meringue. Beat the egg whites you reserved until soft peaks are formed. Add your remaining sugar (60gr), one tablespoon at a time and beat until stiff peaks are formed. Your meringue is now ready to be folded inside your cake mixture. Choose the tin you want to use but don't forget to grease and flour it in order to prevent your cake from sticking.
Bake for 50 mins to an hour, leave it on a cooling rack and serve when ready.
