Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gently fold in the blueberries until coated in the flour mixture.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the bread is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze by combining 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled bread. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
