- ⅓ cup butter melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Glaze Ingredients
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and eggs. Whisk smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, stirring gently. Fold in lemon zest and blueberries. Do not over-mix.
Pour into a well greased 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, turn the oven down to 350°F. Bake for an additional 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove to wire rack.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to form a glaze. Drizzle glaze over the bread while still warm.
