Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake

Sometimes you just need that little something to pair with a morning coffee, and this is how Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake came to be. I hadn’t had this loaf in quite a while yet after indulging in a slice at a coffee shop while on travels recently, it sparked a craving.

Yet, buying it by the slice can be costly, as we know so baking it at home is the frugal option. Plus it’s so easy to make!

This loaf cake recipe deserves to be tried – and if you’d like something similar yet more dessert-like, try these Blueberry Lemon Cupcakes. I’d also suggest this amazing Carrot Cake recipe.

When making Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake, you can use frozen blueberries yet right now the fresh and tasty BC Blueberries are in season. This means that I ‘blueberry all the things’, like this beautiful Blueberry Cake, which is a farmers recipe!

Getting my blueberry fix is one of the reasons why I look forward to the farmers market every week. Which is why I have an extensive blueberry recipes section on the blog.

For another taste of spring and summer, try our delicious Moist Lemon Poppy Seed Cake Recipe.

This means I usually leave with a boxful and I happily enjoy them through the week in everything from breakfasts to desserts, salads and for snacking.

Not only a great price while in season from now until September, BC Blueberries are delicious. The province is the largest highbush blueberry region in the world – Lucky us!

I also have my own collection of favourites here at My Organized Chaos. A good place to start is by making these Easy Blueberry Pie Bars.

While making Blueberry Lemon Loaf Cake this time, I recalled that the last time, the blueberries sank into the batter while cooking.

While it certainly doesn’t change taste {YUM!}, I wanted the blueberries to be better distributed through the loaf this time.

A search told me to toss damp blueberries in flour before adding to batter, to prevent falling while cooking. Yet it didn’t work – let me know in the comments if there’s another trick to try next time I make this recipe {read – most likely next week}.

If you like to meal prep and want to make a delicious muffin recipe that’s also freezer friendly, try our Easy Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins.

LOAF CAKE

• 1.5 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup greek yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp lemon zest
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup blueberries

GLAZE

• 1.5 tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 370, and either grease a loaf pan with butter or line the loaf pan with parchment paper
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside
• Using an electric mixer – blend the butter, eggs, sugar, yogurt, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest.  
• When combined, mix in half of the flour mixture and then half the milk. Repeat back and forth until all combined. 
• Add the blueberries to the batter and stir gently by hand to combine. 
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 48-53 minutes, or until a toothpick/knife comes out clean when inserted. When done, move to a wire rack to cool 
• Make the glaze by combining the butter, icing sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Whisk well to remove lumps. If you’d like a thicker glaze, add another tsp of icing sugar. Add the glaze after the loaf has cooled, yet still somewhat warm to the touch. 
• Best served warm yet that’s your choice – enjoy!
