Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the lemon zest and blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf cake.
Notes
- For an extra burst of lemon flavor, you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter.
- Ensure blueberries are dry before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
- If you don’t have a loaf pan, you can use a round cake pan, adjusting the baking time as needed.
