Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside 1 tablespoon for coating the blueberries.
Mixing the Batter
- In a large mixer bowl, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in lemon zest and vanilla.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and add eggs one at a time. Combine milk and sour cream in a small bowl, then add flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
- Toss the blueberries with the reserved flour, then fold them gently into the batter.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 56 to 62 minutes, until it springs back when touched and a toothpick comes out with crumbs.
- While baking, make the lemon syrup by simmering lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until dissolved and slightly thickened.
- Brush the hot loaf with syrup immediately after removing from the oven. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely.
Glazing and Serving
- Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and let set before slicing.
Notes
Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze slices wrapped in plastic for up to 2 months. Warm slices before serving if desired.
