Lemon Blueberry Loaf

 

Instructions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the sides and bottom of a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups of flour and baking powder.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, yogurt or sour cream, salt, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and lemon zest until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 5

Toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a cooling rack.

Step 9

While the loaf is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine lemon juice and confectioner’s sugar.

Step 10

Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 11

Use a toothpick to poke holes all over the top and sides of the loaf. Brush the warm lemon glaze over the loaf using a pastry brush.

Allow the glaze to harden for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
