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 spray an 8.5” by 4.5” loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, preferably the kind with flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, oil, evaporated milk, lemon extract, and lemon zest. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until the batter is formed. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool before frosting.
- To make the frosting, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over the cooled bread, if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, use fresh blueberries when available.
The frosting can be adjusted to your taste; add lemon juice gradually for optimal sweetness.
