Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Add more lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired drizzling consistency.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best cake texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added.
  • You can test for doneness by gently pressing the top of the cake; it should spring back.
  • If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
