Servings: 16

75 g frozen blueberries
250 g soft butter or margarine
350 g Sugar
5 Eggs (size M)
2 TABLESPOONS Milk
250 g (approx. 30 g) + 2 tablespoons flour
1 package Baking Powder
150 g white chocolate
125 g Blueberries
2 Protein (size M)
1 pinch Salt
7-10 Tbsp Fat and breadcrumbs
7-10 Tbsp Aluminium foil

Directions

1
Defrost the blueberries. In the meantime, whisk the fat and 250 g sugar until creamy with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in eggs and milk bit by bit. Mix 250 g flour and baking powder and stir into the fat egg mass.
2
Cut the dough in half. Chop 100 g chocolate and melt over a warm water bath. Puree blueberries. Stir the chocolate into one half of the dough. First mix 2 tbsp. flour, then pureed blueberries into the second half of the dough.
3
Grease a box mould (approx. 30 cm long; 2 litres capacity) and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. First fill in dark, then light dough. Sort blueberries, wash, grate dry and, except for a few for decoration, spread on the dough.
4
Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ circulating air: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 1 1/4 hours (stick test). Cover with foil after about half of the baking time. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool down on a cake rack for about 30 minutes.
5
In the meantime beat the egg whites with salt until stiff. Let 100 g sugar trickle in. Finely chop the remaining chocolate and fold it into the meringue, except for about 1 tbsp. Remove the cake from the mould. Spread the beaten egg whites loosely on the top of the cake and sprinkle with the rest of the chocolate.
6
Bake again in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 8-10 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool down completely on a cake rack. Arrange the cake on a plate and decorate with blueberries.
