- 80 g cake flour or 70g all-purpose flour + 10g cornstarch substitute
- 10 g cocoa powder unsweetened, not hot cocoa mix

Make the Blueberry Chocolate Brownie
Melt chocolate and butter: Place chocolate and butter in a bowl. Melt over a water bath, stirring until smooth. Let cool to room temperature to avoid cooking the eggs.
Combine eggs and chocolate mixture: In a large clean, dry bowl, whisk 2 eggs with 40g sugar for 1 minute until smooth. Slowly pour in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture, blending until fully combined.
Mix the batter: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add milk and stir until smooth and thick with no dry flour.
Add blueberries and bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line cake pan with parchment. Pour half the batter, spread evenly, and add some blueberries. Pour in the remaining batter, smooth, and tap pan to release bubbles. Bake for 40 minutes in the middle rack. Test with a toothpick: moist crumbs are fine; wet batter needs 2–3 more minutes. Cool on a rack.
Make Frosting and Decorate
Prepare frosting: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar for 30 seconds until smooth. Add chilled cream and whip on medium speed until stiff peaks form (avoid overwhipping).
Decorate cake: Remove cooled brownie from pan. Pipe cream cheese frosting on top (dots, swirls, or stripes). Garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves.
