Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups blueberries (tossed in flour)
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup sugar (for syrup)
  • 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 10-inch loaf pans by buttering and flouring them.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and lemon zest until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in milk and vanilla until combined.
  3. In another bowl, sift flour and baking powder together. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Gently fold in blueberries.
  4. Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. While baking, prepare the lemon syrup by simmering lemon juice and sugar until slightly thickened.
  6. Cool loaves for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Poke holes in the bread and brush with syrup while cooling completely.
  7. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice and pour over cooled loaves.
