Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Blueberry Lemon Loaf

[heart_this] · Jul 4, 2019 · 7 Comments

Blueberry Lemon Loaf

Moist and tender lemon bread just stuffed with juicy blueberries and smothered in a lemon icing that is so easy to make!

Blueberries are in season and I had to start things off right with a lemon blueberry bread! This bread is so easy to make! It’s basically a simple lemon quick bread that has a ton of fresh blueberries mixed into it! You pretty much just mix the dry ingredients, mix the wet, mix the dry into the wet and then bake! The lemon and blueberry flavour combination is simply magical and it goes especially well in a bread like this, all slathered with melting butter, still hot from the oven! Yum! This blueberry lemon bread is an amazing way to enjoy some local blueberries this summer!

Moist and tender lemon bread just stuffed with juicy blueberries and smothered in a lemon icing that is so easy to make!

ingredients
    For the lemon blueberry loaf:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream at room temperature
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (~2 lemons)
  • 2 teaspoons pure lemon extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    For the lemon blueberry loaf:
  1. Mix the sugar, sour cream, eggs, lemon zest, lemon extract, vanilla extract and oil before mixing in the mixture of the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt followed by the blueberries.
  2. Divide the batter between 2 greased 8X4 inch loaf pans and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes.
  3. Remove the loaf from the pan and pour (or drizzle or spread) the lemon icing over the loaf and let it cool before slicing and enjoying!
  4. For the lemon icing:
  5. Mix the confectioners sugar into the lemon juice and zest until smooth.

    You say ‘Use meyer lemons for lemon juice and zest!’ but the recipe does not list lemon juice as an ingredient, just lemon extract. Is there a mistake in the recipe, or did you mean ‘Use meyer lemons for lemon extract and zest!’

      The lemon juice is used in the frosting. Enjoy!

    This looks lovely, but I don’t need two . Can I just cut the ingredients in half? Thanks.

    Where is the “slathered with melted butter” part? Is that an alternate topping?
