In separate bowl and using clean beaters, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, until firm glossy peaks form. Set aside.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. With wooden spoon, stir into butter mixture alternately with orange juice, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of juice to make stiff batter.

Stir one-third of the egg whites into batter; fold in remaining egg whites. Fold in 2 cups (500 mL) of the blueberries. Scrape into prepared pan; smooth top and tap pan gently on counter.

Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool for 20 minutes.

Loosen cake from edges of pan. Place rack over pan; turn cake out onto rack. Place sheet of foil below rack. Lift off pan; brush cake with glaze. Let cool.

Transfer cake to flat serving plate; fill centre with remaining blueberries.
