Blueberry Lemon Bread with Lemon Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to make the lemon glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.
