This bread has a nice balance of lemon and blueberry flavor, with the texture of pound cake. For a special touch, serve with honey butter or lemon curd.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
TOPPING:
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and lemon zest; beat well. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries. Pour into a greased 5-3/4x3x2-in. loaf pan.
Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Combine topping ingredients; spread over warm bread.

Editor's Note

If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

This is very delicious! A nice touch after our meal. I used fresh blueberries. Do not omit the topping. It really makes the taste pop!
