Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. Gently mix in the milk until just incorporated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. In a small bowl, toss the frozen blueberries with 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture to prevent sinking. (8 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the remaining flour mixture to the wet ingredients, gently folding with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the floured blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 55-60 minutes. (60 minutes)

06

Step

While the loaf is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Once the loaf is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the top with a toothpick or skewer. This will allow the glaze to soak into the loaf. Pour the glaze evenly over the warm loaf. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the glaze to set slightly and prevents the loaf from sticking. (10 minutes)

09

Step

Slice and serve. Enjoy the delightful flavors of lemon and blueberry in every bite!

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a few drops of lemon extract to the batter.
To prevent the blueberries from bleeding into the batter, ensure they are well-coated with flour before folding them in.
This loaf tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
