Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the lemon zest and mix until well incorporated.
- Crack in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, ground almonds, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula. If using frozen blueberries, there's no need to thaw them first, but you may need to bake the loaf slightly longer.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top starts browning too much, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- While the loaf is baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the loaf is cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice and enjoy your Blueberry and Lemon Loaf! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- To prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, dust them lightly with flour before folding them into the batter.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best possible flavor.
- If you don't have almonds, you can substitute with almond flour or your preferred type of nut flour.
- Allow the loaf to cool completely before applying the lemon glaze to ensure it sets properly.
There you have it, a delicious Blueberry and Lemon Loaf that's perfect for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. The combination of tangy lemon and sweet blueberries, with the nutty hint of almonds, creates a harmonious balance of flavors that will delight your taste buds. This easy-to-make loaf will quickly become a favorite in your baking repertoire. Enjoy!
