Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Sift together all-purpose flour and cornstarch five times into a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. Sift this mixture into the flour blend two more times.
- Beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the foamy egg whites. Continue beating until it holds soft peaks, about 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly add the remaining sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form, about 10-13 minutes.
- Carefully fold in the flour mixture in four parts using a spatula.
- Toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour to coat and gently fold into your batter.
- Pour half of the batter into an ungreased tube pan. Add half of the blueberries, then layer on the remaining batter and top with the last of the blueberries.
- Bake for 40-43 minutes, until the top is golden brown and springs back when touched.
- Invert the tube pan onto a neck of a bottle to cool for 2-3 hours upside down.
- Run a knife around the edges of the pan, invert the cake onto a serving plate, and gently tap to release.
- Whisk together lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Adjust consistency with water if necessary.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and garnish with lemon slices. Let it set for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
