Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- To the remaining crumb mixture, add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. Press 2/3 of this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create a sturdy crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, vanilla extract, caster sugar, and corn starch until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust, sprinkle blueberries, and pour the remaining cheesecake filling over it.
- Crumble the reserved mixture over the top, and sprinkle more blueberries if desired.
- Bake for 65-75 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove the springform. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk for the glaze and drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Let the cake set for 30 minutes before slicing, and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes
Ensure room temperature ingredients for a smooth filling and avoid overmixing to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
