Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
|
Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
3
|
In a large mixing bowl, use a mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until smooth and combined, 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs and beat for a minute longer, until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Continue to beat on medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until fully incorporated.
4
|
Roll the blueberries in a few tablespoons of flour. Add the rest of the flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Beat the mixture on medium-low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, until just combined. Do not over-mix. Fold in the blueberries.
5
|
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
6
|
Bake the bread on middle rack of oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55-65 minutes.
7
|
Check to see that bread is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
8
|
Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then release the bread from the pan onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Leftover bread may be stored in a large zip-top bag at room temperature for 1 day, in the refrigerator for 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Blueberry Suspension Technique 🫐
    Toss fresh blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread during baking.
  • Zest Master Trick 🍋
    Always zest lemons before juicing them, and use a microplane grater for the finest, most fragrant lemon zest that distributes evenly throughout the batter.
  • Moisture Magic 💦
    The sour cream in this recipe is key to creating an incredibly moist and tender crumb - be sure to use full-fat sour cream for the best texture.
  • Pan Preparation Pro 🥄
    Create a foolproof non-stick surface by spraying the loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, then line with parchment paper that overhangs the sides for easy removal.
  • Glazing Perfection 🍰
    For an extra burst of lemon flavor, pierce the warm bread with a toothpick and brush with a mixture of lemon juice and powdered sugar while it's still warm.
