Lemon Blueberry Loaf
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and line all sides of a 1lb loaf pan (8.5×4.5″).
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the sugar and zest. Rub together to release lemon flavor.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine.
- With the mixer running on medium low speed, drop in the softened butter 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Mix until crumbly with no lumps of butter visible.
- Scrape down the bowl and mix in the vanilla, followed by the eggs one at a time.
- Mix in the lemon juice followed by the milk.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and scrape down to check for unmixed bits at the bottom.
- Rinse the blueberries and toss with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepped loaf pan and spread evenly. Top with extra berries and crumble.
- Bake for 50 min – 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool for about 45 minutes at room temperature.
Lemon Icing
- Once the loaf has cooled, make the lemon icing.
- Whisk together all of the icing ingredients until it reaches a glue-like consistency.
- Lift the loaf out of the pan and drizzle with the icing.
- Now slice and enjoy!
