Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 20cm 98-inch 20 cm round springform pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil for easy release.

Beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
Slowly add in the almond meal and baking powder into the egg yolk mixture. Stir until fully combined.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Evenly distribute the blueberries on top. Sprinkle the chilled crumb topping over the blueberries, followed by the flaked almonds.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing.
