This tasty lemon blueberry loaf is easy to make and has a gorgeous moist texture and incredibly sweet flavor that everyone loves.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
½ cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
1½ cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup milk
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups fresh blueberries
FOR THE GLAZE:
¼ cup powdered sugar
Fresh lemon juice (leftover from the batter)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 5 x 9-inch loaf pan.
Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, then add the eggs and milk and mix some more.
Stir in a tablespoon of lemon juice and set the rest aside (for the glaze).
Whisk 1½ cups of the flour with the salt, baking powder and zest from the lemon.
Mix the flour mixture with the wet mixture until just combined.
Toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour and use a slotted spoon to transfer one cup of them into the bowl of batter.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and top with the remaining ¼ cup blueberries.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Stir the powdered sugar and remaining lemon juice together to make the glaze.
Use a chopstick or small spoon handle to make holes in the top of the loaf and pour the glaze over the top, using a spatula to spread it across the whole loaf.
