Instructions
Blueberry Lemon Loaf:
- First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl blend together the granulated sugar, softened butter, sour cream, egg, lemon juice and lemon zest until the mixture turns creamy.
- In a bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder and kosher salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and room-temperature whole milk to the batter, in alternating batches. End with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Carefully fold in most of the blueberries ( 1 ¾ cups) keeping aside a handful for later use.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Evenly distribute the reserved blueberries on top.
Crumble Topping:
- In a bowl combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar along with a pinch of salt. Mix everything well.
- Add melted butter that has slightly cooled down. Mix until you achieve texture.
- Sprinkle this crumble topping over the batter in the loaf pan.
Baking:
- Place the loaf pan in the oven. Bake for 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Ensure that there is no wet batter present.
- After baking the loaf let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before moving it onto a wire rack to cool
For the glaze:
- Combine confectioners' sugar and water at room temperature in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and reach the desired consistency for the glaze.
- Once the loaf has cooled drizzle the glaze over it.
