Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tenderness)
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-Ins

  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1 tablespoon flour (to toss blueberries)

Optional Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a baking pan (8×8 or loaf pan works well).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, oil (or melted butter), lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.
  4. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined — do not overmix.
  5. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and fold them gently into the batter.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice to make the glaze and drizzle over the cooled treat.
  8. Let it cool before slicing to keep the structure soft and clean.

Description

This fresh-baked treat is soft, golden, and full of tangy lemon brightness balanced by the deep bursts
of blueberry flavor. The crumb is moist and fluffy, making every slice melt in your mouth. A light lemon
glaze on top adds shine and extra zing. It’s a simple but impressive dessert that looks beautiful
and tastes even better.

Tips

  • Use buttermilk instead of milk for maximum moisture.
  • Frozen blueberries help prevent too much coloring of the batter.
  • Tossing the blueberries in flour helps keep them from sinking.
  • Add white chocolate chips for an extra creamy twist.
  • Cool completely before slicing for clean pieces.

Correction

  • If the batter is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk.
  • If it’s too thin, add 1 tablespoon of flour.
  • If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil during baking.

Enjoy

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Fresh-Baked Lemon Blueberry Treat warm or cooled.
Pair it with tea, coffee, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful and refreshing experience!
