Baking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9"x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
  • While slowly mixing, add flour mixture and milk in two batches. Stop mixing as soon as it's just combined.
  • Rinse off the blueberries, then in a small bowl toss the blueberries with flour to coat.
  • Add the flour-coated berries to the batter and gently stir by hand to combine.
  • Immediately pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool bread in the pan for about 30 minutes, then move to a wire cooling rack.
  • Prepare glaze by whisking together melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla, then pour over the loaf.
  • Allow the glaze to set a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If baking the day before serving, wrap cooled loaf in plastic wrap and store at room temperature without the glaze. Add the glaze the day of serving.
