Ingredients

For the Loaf:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1 tsp baking powder
  
  

• 1 tsp salt
  
  

• ⅓ cup melted butter
  
  

• 1 cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs
  
  

• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  
  

• 2 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
  
  

• ½ tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• ½ cup milk
  
  

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  
  

For the Lemon Glaze:

• 2 tbsp melted butter
  
  

• ½ cup powdered sugar
  
  

• ½ tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
   
   

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
   
   

3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
   
   

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
   
   

5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix.

6. Bake the Loaf: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   
   

7. Prepare the Lemon Glaze: While the loaf is baking, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
   
   

8. Glaze the Loaf: Once the loaf is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack. While the loaf is still warm, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
