Blueberry vanilla bread with lemon glaze

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Butter an 8x4 inch loaf pan, line the bottom and two sides of the pan with the parchment paper.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk.

Step 5

In the same bowl where you combined flour, add blueberries and toss them in 2 tablespoons of flour. This will help prevent blueberries from sinking.

Step 6

Fold in lemon zest, and blueberries into the batter. Do it carefully and fast. Pour the lemon bread batter into prepared pan.

Step 7

Bake in preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread in pan for 40 minutes on a wire rack. Release the bread from the pan.

Step 8

Combine freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl and beat, using electrical mixer, until smooth glaze forms .

Step 9

Drizzle the top of the blueberry lemon bread (after it's been completely cooled) with the glaze. Some of the glaze will go down the sides of the bread.
