Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Loaf:

    • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ⅓ cup butter, melted
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ cup milk
    • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

    For the Lemon Glaze:

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

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

  • In a separate large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.

  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.

  • Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to prevent the batter from turning blue.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Prepare the lemon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.

  • Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled loaf before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle some extra lemon zest over the glaze before serving.
  • If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, increase the lemon zest and juice slightly.
  • If using frozen blueberries, avoid thawing them to prevent the batter from turning purple.
