Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • For the glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Мethod of preparation

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar and lemon zest until the mixture is fragrant. Add softened butter to the sugar-zest mixture and cream together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the sour cream and lemon juice until smooth. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf. Let the glaze set before slicing. Enjoy your Luscious Lemon Blueberry Loaf with a cup of tea or coffee.
