Blueberry cake

This is a South-Tirolo (Northern Italy) soft blueberry cake: the smell and the taste are amazing!

Ingredients
550 g flour
500 g sugar
450 g butter softened
400 g blueberries
4 eggs
1 packet of vanillin
1/2 packet of yeast

Method
Work butter with sugar and vanillin for five minutes, then add eggs and mix.
Add flour combined with the yeast and mix.
The blueberries should be added once a soft dough is created.
Bake in a cake mould at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes.
Cool the cake and serve.

1 packet of vanillin is equivalant to a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
half packet of yeast is equivalant to a teaspoon of baking powder.
you will not find vanillin in UK. Its an italian product.

Vanillin is simply vanilla extract. (make sure you use a good one though)

Where can you buy vanillin

Half a packet of (fresh) yeast would be about 20g...
Vanillin is artificial vanilla flavor, you can just use any other vanilla flavor or real vanilla.
