Depending upon serving size, yields 6 or more servings.

1/4 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

3 eggs, separated

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups blueberries

for greasing/dusting pan:

• 1-2 Tablespoons butter

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C; Gas Mark 4).

• Set 9-inch square pan on top rack to warm briefly.
• Remove, grease with butter, and dust with rolled oats.

2. In medium mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.

• Beat in egg yolks, salt, and vanilla extract.

3. In small bowl, beat egg whites until they form soft peaks.

• Add cream of tartar and beat until peaks are stiff.
• Then gently fold flour in with egg whites until nicely blended.
• Transfer to butter mixture, folding gently to combine thoroughly.

4. Pour batter into baking pan and spread evenly.

• Spoon blueberries so they are well distributed across batter.
• Lightly press with fingers or spatula so blueberries are partially submerged in batter.
• Bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes.

May be served warm or cold.

• To eat with fruit on top:  cut into squares while in pan and transfer to individual plates.

• To eat with fruit on bottom:  run knife around edge of cake to loosen from baking pan; place serving plate upside down over pan and turn over so pan is resting upside down over plate; remove pan and slice into squares for serving.

Dust with confectioners sugar.

Servings: 6.
