Recipe Summary Lemon-Blueberry Loaf

No mixer needed for this colorful, tasty, lemon-blueberry loaf. A tried-and-true recipe I have used for many years. Like most sweet loaves, this one tastes best when wrapped tightly and allowed to sit for a day to let the flavors meld.

Ingredients | Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake Recipe Nigella

cooking spray (such as Pam®)

¾ cup white sugar

¼ cup butter, melted and slightly cooled

¼ cup sour cream

2 eggs, beaten

1 medium lemon, zested and juiced, divided

⅓ cup milk

1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 ¼ cups frozen blueberries, unthawed

1 tablespoon icing sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Whisk together sugar, melted butter, sour cream, and lemon juice in a large bowl until thoroughly blended. Mix in milk.

Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in a separate bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons flour mixture and place in a third, smaller bowl with frozen blueberries; stir to coat. Stir remaining flour mixture into milk-sour cream mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, blending until just combined. Fold floured blueberries into batter and transfer into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, mix together icing sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl for the topping.

Remove loaf from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the top with a toothpick. Pour topping over the top of the loaf and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
