Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Coat the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of an 8x4 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in lemon zest. Make a well in the center of flour mixture.

Step 2

Combine eggs, milk, and butter in a medium bowl. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.

Step 3

Bake 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary to prevent overbrowning, cover loosely with foil the last 15 minutes of baking.

Step 4

Cook in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan. While still warm, whisk a bit of fresh lemon juice into a cup of powdered sugar until it has a runny consistency, then pour over the loaf. Allow to cool completely on rack.
