Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 6 tbsp beaten eggs about 2 large
  • 0.25 cup plain yogurt full-fat preferred
  • 0.25 cup buttermilk
  • 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.25 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour for tossing the blueberries
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice for glaze
  • 1 tbsp milk for glaze, as needed

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 8.5x4.5-inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling.
  • Rub lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips until fragrant and slightly moist.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk melted butter with the lemon sugar until glossy. Beat in the beaten eggs until smooth.
  • Add yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla. Whisk in buttermilk until combined.
  • Stir dry ingredients into wet just until no dry pockets remain. Do not overmix.
  • Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
  • Spread batter into the pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan once to release bubbles.
  • Bake 50–60 minutes, until a tester in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if browning early.
  • Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then lift out and cool completely.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk to a thick drizzle. Pour over the cooled loaf and let set before slicing.

Notes

Variation: Swap half the blueberries with raspberries or add 1 tbsp poppy seeds for extra texture. Storage: Wrap tightly and keep at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze slices up to 2 months.
