Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Mix melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl until well combined.
  4. Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the blueberries gently.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a serving platter.
  9. Whisk together melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth for the glaze. Add more lemon juice for a thinner consistency.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm loaf and let it soak in before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve this loaf warm or at room temperature. Pairs wonderfully with tea or coffee.
