Ingredients
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 150 g butter (unsalted)
- 150 g powdered sugar
- 2 eggs
- 400 g blueberry
- 2 g vanillin or 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 250 g full fat sour cream or Crème fraiche
Instructions
- Beat together soft room-temperature butter with 100 grams of powdered sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer will make it easier.
- Add egg and mix in together with the cream.
- Sift flour together with baking powder into the bowl with the mixture.
- Mix all the ingredients into a dough. It should become malleable. You should use your hands to knead the dough for the crust.
- Grease the cake pan nicely. Place dough in the pan and using your hands spread it in a thin layer across the bottom up to the sides (5 cm high). Make halls in pressed dough with a fork (it will prevent the crust from deformation).
- 50 g powdered sugar whipped with sour cream, 1 egg, and vanilla extract or vanillin.
- Add blueberries and gently mix with the cream.
