Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for tossing blueberries)
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Mix in sour cream until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Toss blueberries with flour and fold into batter.
- Bake: Pour batter into loaf pan, spread evenly, and bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread. Let set before slicing.
Notes
- For extra lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
