Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup oil
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
- Zest of one large or two small lemons
- 1 cup fresh frozen or canned blueberries
- ½ cup (57g) powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8.5” by 4.5” loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the eggs, oil, evaporated milk, lemon extract, and lemon zest, then whisk together.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean from the center.
- Allow the bread to cool before adding a drizzle of frosting made from whisking powdered sugar with lemon juice (to taste).
Notes
Ensure the blueberries are gently folded in to maintain their shape.
The frosting is optional but adds a nice sweetness to the loaf.
For a zestier flavor, consider adding more lemon zest to the batter.
