Ingredients

Scale

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

Zest of 2 lemons

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup sour cream

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 tablespoon flour (for coating blueberries)

For the Glaze:

¾ cup powdered sugar

12 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Stir in lemon zest, juice, and vanilla.
  • Add sour cream and mix until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients in two additions, mixing just until combined.
  • Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour and gently fold into the batter.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice into a glaze and drizzle over cooled loaf.

Notes

Let the loaf cool completely before slicing for best texture.

Add a second layer of glaze for extra citrus punch.

For a twist, try substituting lime and blackberries.
