Ingredients
- 5 egg whites (about 5.3 oz (150 g))
- (about 120 g) sugar
- 2 cups (about 250 g) all-purpose flour
- one sachet of baking powder
- (about 100 ml) vegetable oil
- zest of 1/2 orange and 1/2 lemon, grated
- a pinch of salt
- (about 3.5 oz / 100 g) fresh blueberries
Steps
Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt and gradually add the sugar until you obtain a frothy, stiff consistency.
Sift the flour with the baking powder into a bowl. Add the oil and the grated orange and lemon zests, gently mixing with a spatula.
Gently fold in the whipped egg whites, taking care not to deflate them, using delicate upward motions. Add them gradually until the batter reaches a creamy consistency. Finally, fold in the blueberries.
Butter and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) ring pan with high sides. Pour the batter into the pan and level it with a spatula.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for about 30 minutes, always performing the classic toothpick test to check doneness.
Turn off the oven and let the cake rest for 10 minutes. Then unmold it and let it cool completely.
The egg white and blueberry ring cake is ready to be served.
