📝 Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons lemon juice

🍨 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Coat the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Step 4: Combine and Fold in Blueberries

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, stirring until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
