Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) with an ungreased 10-inch tube pan ready for baking.

- Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.
- Gently sift the cake flour and salt together. Slowly fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites.
- Add lemon zest and vanilla extract into the batter, folding gently until well combined.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries without damaging them.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Invert the tube pan immediately on a cooling rack and allow the cake to cool completely before removing it.
Serving Suggestions

- Dust with powdered sugar, serve with whipped cream or lemon sorbet, and garnish with fresh blueberries and mint.
