A moist tender cake that is bursting with fresh blueberries and spiced with cinnamon powder. I always get requests to bake the cake for gatherings or dinner parties.

Grease a round 27 cm/10.5 inchesspringform pan with a piece of butter and line the bottom and edges with a piece of parchment paper.
For the filling, combine the blueberries, sugar and cinnamon powder. Set aside.
For the cake batter:
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar in an electric mixer for 2 minutes.
Add the egg, egg white and vanilla extract and continue beating on high speed for 2 minutes.
Reduce the speed to very low and slowly add the milk and flour and mix just to integrate the batter.
With a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix slowly one more time.
Spread half of the batter onto the greased lined springform pan. Sprinkle the blueberry filling, fully covering the batter.
Spread the remaining batter on top, fully covering the blueberries.
Bake in the oven about 45-50 minutes, or until you insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and it comes out clean. Enjoy it!
