Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2

Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

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.

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.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake the bread on middle rack of oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55-65 minutes.

Check to see that bread is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

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.
