Preparation
- Preheat and Prepare the Pan:Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a standard loaf pan (8x4 inches) with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar:In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy — about 2–3 minutes. This step ensures a tender crumb.
- Add Wet Ingredients:Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. The batter might look slightly curdled due to the lemon juice, but don’t worry — it’ll smooth out once the dry ingredients are added.
- Combine Everything:Alternate adding the dry ingredients and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) into the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined — don’t overmix.
- Fold in Blueberries:Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour (this helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom) and gently fold them into the batter using a spatula.
- Bake the Loaf:Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil halfway through baking.
- Cool and Glaze:Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice to make the glaze, then drizzle it over the cooled loaf. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
- Serve and Enjoy:Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee, tea, or even a dollop of whipped cream.
