Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line with parchment or dust with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Blend in sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, gently mixing. Fold in blueberries carefully to avoid crushing.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice until pourable. Drizzle over cooled loaf generously.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for optimal flavor and color.
- Adjust sugar amount to taste.
- Add lemon extract for a stronger citrus flavor if desired.
- Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf light and fluffy.
- Use a toothpick to check doneness without overbaking.
