Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus 1/2 Tbsp to dust blueberries)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 1/2 tsp, divided (reserve 1/2 tsp for the glaze))
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (rinsed and patted dry*)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (or to reach desired consistency)
- 1/2 tsp reserved lemon zest
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 6 cup (8 1/2 by 4 1/2 bread loaf pan)* then dust with flour, tapping out the excess flour.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together: flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and half of the granulated sugar on medium/high speed until combined then add the remaining sugar and beat for 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, vanilla extract, and 1 tsp lemon zest and mix until well incorporated.
-
Add flour mixture in 2 parts, alternating with the milk and mixing on medium/low speed just until incorporated with each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
-
In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 1/2 Tbsp flour then fold them into the batter just until incorporated. Spread the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 50-60 min at 350°F until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.* Let cool in pan for 10-15 minutes then run a cake release tool or knife around the edges and transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.*
-
After your bread is fully cooled, in a separate bowl, stir together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and reserved 1/2 tsp lemon zest. Stir until smooth. It should have a drizzling consistency. Add more lemon juice to thin it out or powdered sugar to make it thicker.
