Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter Salted butter adds richness to the bread.
  • 1.5 cups sugar Sweetens the loaf and balances the tartness of lemon.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest Provides a bright citrus flavor that enhances the overall taste.
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour The base ingredient that gives structure to the bread.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Helps the bread rise, ensuring a light texture.
  • 6 large eggs Adds moisture and richness to the batter.
  • 1 cup 2% milk Contributes to the moistness of the bread while keeping it tender.
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla A hint of sweetness that complements the lemon and blueberry flavors.
  • 2 cups blueberries Fresh blueberries add bursts of sweetness; toss them in flour to prevent sinking during baking.
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice Enhances the lemon flavor and adds moisture to the syrup.
  • 1/3 cup sugar Used in the syrup for extra sweetness.
  • 1 cup sifted powdered sugar For making a smooth glaze that tops off the bread perfectly.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Adds tanginess to the glaze, tying it all together.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 10-inch loaf pans by buttering and flouring them thoroughly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar, salted butter, and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  3. Pour in the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until just combined with your creamed mixture.
  4. Sift together all-purpose flour and baking powder before gradually adding this dry mixture into your wet ingredients. Mix gently just until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the floured blueberries using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  6. Transfer your batter into prepared loaf pans evenly and bake for about 55-60 minutes until golden brown. Brush with lemon syrup and glaze with powdered sugar mixed with fresh lemon juice before serving.
