blueberry snack cake

This morning we were out of bread, there were only a few eggs left in the carton and we'd just had oatmeal yesterday. I remembered this breakfast cake that my mom made several years ago when my family was here visiting so I looked up the recipe to see if I had all of the ingredients. I did! It was quick to throw together and everyone really liked it, except for Thomas. He's doesn't care for blueberries, that crazy boy! He said he liked the cake around the blueberries. :)

Blueberry Snack Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk
2 eggs, separated
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 3/4 cup for topping. Add the baking powder to remaining mixture and stir. In a separate bowl, combine milk and egg yolks then add to flour mixture; mix well. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold into batter.

Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the blueberries on top and then the reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes (my oven took more like 45 - 50 minutes) or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
