A tender, moist loaf cake bursting with fresh blueberries and zesty lemon, perfect for brunch, potlucks, or a cozy breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  5. Mix in sour cream, fresh lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula or on low mixer speed. Stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears.
  7. Toss fresh blueberries in a tablespoon of flour to coat lightly and gently fold them into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too fast.
  10. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Do not overmix the batter to keep the loaf tender. Use fresh lemon zest for best flavor. Keep eggs and sour cream at room temperature for smooth blending. Tent foil if top browns too fast.
