How To Make blueberry vanilla bread with lemon glaze

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8x4 inch loaf pan, line the bottom and two sides of the pan with the parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk.
  • Step 3
    Stir the blueberries in 2 tablespoons of flour (This will help prevent blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Add them to the flour bowl and fold in lemon zest along with the berries into the batter. Do it carefully but quickly. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Step 4
    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. Remove the bread from the pan.
  • Step 5
    Lemon Glaze: Combine freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl and beat, using electrical mixer, until smooth glaze forms . Drizzle or spread the top of the bread (after it's been completely cooled) with the glaze. Some of the glaze will go down the sides of the bread which is a good thing.
