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.
