Ingredients
UnitsScale
For the bread:
1 1/2cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/2cups fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour)
For the lemon glaze:
1/2cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and glaze: Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the glaze, then drizzle over the cooled bread.
Notes
Tossing blueberries in flour prevents them from sinking.
Buttermilk can be used for added richness.
Store the bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
