Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake 

This looks like a Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake with a sweet glaze. Here’s how you can make it at home!

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ cup (120ml) milk or buttermilk

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

• 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour)

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for a thinner glaze)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.

2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream butter & sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add eggs & flavoring: Beat in eggs, one at a time, then mix in vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

5. Alternate dry ingredients & milk: Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.

6. Fold in blueberries gently with a spatula.

7. Bake: Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

8. Prepare glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Tips:

• Tossing blueberries in flour helps prevent them from sinking.

• Add a teaspoon of poppy seeds for extra texture.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
