Lemon Blueberry Loaf with Lemon Glaze
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour, plus an additional 1 tablespoon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan and lightly dust with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1½ cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking during baking. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
