Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
- 4 egg whites
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 250 g cottage cheese (or mascarpone cheese for a creamier texture)
- 200 g fresh blueberries (or frozen, but make sure to thaw and drain them well)
- 120 g sugar
- 150 g flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 50 g melted butter (plus a little for greasing the pan)
- A pinch of salt
- Grated zest of one lemon (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a baking pan with butter or use parchment paper. This step is essential to prevent the cake from sticking.

2. In a clean bowl, beat the 4 egg whites with a whisk or electric mixer until foamy. Add the 2 packets of vanilla sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a firm and glossy consistency. This step will ensure an airy texture for your cake.

3. In another bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the sugar, baking powder, flour, and a pinch of salt. If you choose to use lemon zest, add it now to enhance the flavors.

4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cheese mixture with a spatula. Do this with delicate movements to maintain the air in the mixture. The result will be a fluffy and light composition.

5. Add the blueberries to the mixture and gently stir, being careful not to crush them.

6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula.

7. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until it turns golden and passes the toothpick test (inserted in the middle, it should come out clean).

8. Once the cake has cooled slightly, you can remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a rack. This step will help prevent condensation and moisture from forming on the bottom of the cake.

Serving suggestion: You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for an elegant look. Serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream for an even more decadent dessert.

Possible variations: Instead of blueberries, you can use raspberries, strawberries, or even peaches, depending on the season and preferences. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as ricotta or goat cheese, to add a distinctive touch.

This blueberry cake is not only a quick and simple dessert but also an excellent way to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. Make it and let yourself be carried away by its delicious flavors!
