Blueberry-Lemon Poundcake

1 cup butter...softened

2 cups sugar...divided

6 eggs...separated

Grated zest of 3 lemons

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup plain yogurt

Pinch of cream of tartar

Pinch of salt

1 1/2 cups blueberries...mix evenly with 1 1/2 tablespoons flour

Powdered sugar

In a large bowl, cream the butter & add 1 1/2 cups of the sugar, beating until the mixture is light & fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time & add the lemon juice & zest. Sift the flour & baking soda into a medium bowl & add alternately w/the yogurt to the butter-sugar combination.
Beat the egg whites w/the cream of tartar & salt until they hold soft peaks. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar & until the mixture holds stiff peaks. Stir 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the yogurt batter; fold in the rest. Fold the blueberries into the batter & spoon into a buttered & floured 10" tube pan or two 9x5" loaf pans. Bake in a preheated 375* oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool, then sift powdered sugar over the cake.
