Lemon Blueberry Loaf
Ingredients:
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
1 large lemon (for zest and juice)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
For the Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 5″ x 9″ loaf pan. Zest the entire lemon, then juice it. Separate the juice, reserving 1 tablespoon for the batter and the rest for the glaze.
2. Make the Batter:
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the milk and the 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of flour (reserving 1 tablespoon), baking powder, salt, and the lemon zest.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no streaks of flour remain—be careful not to overmix.
3. Add Blueberries:
Toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour (this helps prevent sinking). Gently fold ¾ cup of the floured blueberries into the batter.
4. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Scatter the remaining ¼ cup of blueberries evenly over the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Glaze:
Once the loaf is fully cooled, whisk the powdered sugar with enough lemon juice to create a thick but pourable glaze.
Use a skewer or fork to poke small holes all over the top of the loaf. Pour the glaze over the top, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly and allow it to drizzle down the sides.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy
