🍋🫐 Indulge in Zesty Sweetness: Lemon Blueberry Loaf

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Preheat & Prep

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

Step 2 — Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3 — Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Step 4 — Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold gently to avoid overmixing.

Step 5 — Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Step 6 — Bake

Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7 — Optional Lemon Glaze

Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf for an extra zesty finish.

Step 8 — Cool & Serve

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
