Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works great)
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for tossing blueberries)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries using a spatula.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. While the loaf cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best texture, coat blueberries in flour to prevent sinking, mix batter until just combined - don't overmix, allow loaf to cool completely before glazing and slicing.
