Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in brown sugar until combined, then set aside.
Pour the butter-sugar mixture into a greased 9-inch round cake pan; evenly distribute blueberries over the top.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream together remaining butter and granulated sugar in another bowl; add egg yolks one by one and vanilla until well mixed.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients alternating with milk until just combined.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold gently into the batter.
Pour batter over blueberries in the pan and smooth the top.
Bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Allow cooling for about 10 minutes before carefully flipping onto a serving plate.
