Now in batches add fluffy eggwhite to the yolk mixture and fold in and incorporate well.
Now pour the batter into lined greased pan and keep in the hot water tray and bake for 45 minutes at 155c.(reduce to this temperature ahen you start baking).
After 45 minutes reduce to 140c and bake for another 10minutes.
I used a cooking range oven.So please adjust and monitor temperature and time as per your oven setting.My oven doesnt brown up much.
Once done just leave the oven door open for 20 minutes with the cake in to avoid shrinking of cake.
Meanwhile prepare buttercream by beating the ingredients given under buttercream till fluffy.Pipe in your desired designs.
To prepare blueberry topping boil blueberry with water sugar and cornstarch till thick.
You may even have it plain.We preferred this topping and icing😋
