Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (plus 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, (or 14% sour cream)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, (approximately 2 lemons)
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instruction

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly grease a loaf pan and for extra security and ease of removing the loaf from the pan after baking, line the loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
  • In a second bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, three eggs, lemon zest, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and canola oil.
  • Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Mix the blueberrieswith the remaining tablespoon of flour, and fold them very gently into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • When the loaf has completely cooled, whisk the confectioner's sugar with a few drops of the freshly squeezed lemon juice Whisk vigorously until the sugar has absorbed the lemon juice. Keep adding lemon juice, drop by drop, until a desired consistency has been achieved. Ideally, you should be able to lift the whisk out of the bowl and watch as the glaze runs back into the bowl in a steady, silk-like ribbon.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the surface of the loaf and allow the glaze to cool and slightly harden before cutting - that's if you can wait that long!
