Grease 10-inch (3 L) Bundt pan or angel food cake pan; dust with flour. Set aside.
In large bowl, beat butter with 1 cup (250 mL) of the sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, 1 at a time; beat in orange rind.
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.

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.
