Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 large spoonfuls butter at room temperature heaping tablespoons
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 lemon, zested save for juice
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Citrus Glaze

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup white sugar

Instructions
 

  • Beat eggs, butter, milk and sugar.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture. Beat well.
  • Zest lemon all over, yellow parts only. Add to batter and mix.
  • Gently stir in most of the blueberries, saving some for the top.
  • Pour into loaf pan fitted with parchment paper. Drop remaining blueberries on top, poking some into the batter.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 350° for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • While loaf is baking, squeeze juice from lemon. Add white sugar and stir. Allow to sit to let sugar dissolve. Once loaf has cooled for 5 minutes, drizzle with glaze over top evenly. You may find there is more than enough glaze for one loaf.

Notes

I use less than the full amount of glaze per loaf. It's enough to be shared between 2 loaves or save some to drizzle over slices if desired.
Nutrition information includes all the glaze and is based on cutting the loaf into 10 equal slices.
