Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake 🍰
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the loaf is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf and let it set before slicing.
