Equipment

  • Electric Mixer
  • loaf pan
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons fresh grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries I used fresh
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for coating blueberries

Lemon Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9"x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper (or lightly grease with butter).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  • While slowly mixing, add flour mixture and milk in two batches (some flour, then some milk, then the rest of the flour and the rest of the milk). Stop mixing as soon as it's just combined.
  • Rinse off the blueberries (if using fresh) so they have just a bit of moisture on them, then, in a small bowl toss the blueberries and 1 T. flour.
  • Add the flour coated berries to the batter and gently but quickly stir, by hand, to combine.
  • Immediately pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Cool bread in the pan for about 30 minutes, then move to a wire cooling rack with a baking sheet below.
  • Prepare glaze by whisking together the melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla, then pour glaze over the loaf.
  • Allow to set a few minutes, then enjoy!

Notes

If baking the day before serving, wrap cooled loaf in plastic wrap and store at room temperature WITHOUT the glaze. Then, mix up and add the glaze the day of serving.
