Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 teaspoons fresh grated lemon zest
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking)
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and prepare a 9ร5 inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. This sets the stage for easy release and a perfect bake.
2-In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set this aside to keep things organized.
3-Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and inviting.
4-Gradually add the flour mixture and milk alternately in two batches, mixing just until combined to avoid tough bread.
5-Gently fold in the blueberries that youโve tossed in a tablespoon of flour this little trick keeps them from sinking and ensures even distribution.
6-Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top for an even rise.
7-Bake for 55 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8-Let the bread cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then move it to a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath.
9-For the glaze, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle it over the cooled bread and let it set before slicing.
