Bake a scrumptious blueberry loaf that’s moist and dotted with juicy blueberries, uplifted by the aroma of lemon, and finished with a rich cream cheese frosting for the perfect treat.
Ingredients for the Blueberry Loaf:
- 125g All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 40g Granulated Sugar
- 40g Light Brown Sugar
- 30g Oil (such as canola, corn, or grapeseed)
- 15g Butter, melted
- 112g Milk (can be coconut, almond, or dairy)
- 15g White Vinegar or Lemon Juice
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 70g Frozen Blueberries
- 1 tsp All-Purpose Flour (for coating the blueberries)
Method for Blueberry Loaf: Preheat the oven to 370°F (188°C) and prepare a 5-inch loaf pan by greasing it and lining with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the milk, vinegar, and lemon zest, then let it sit for 10 minutes before stirring in the vanilla, oil, and sugars. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the melted butter. Toss the blueberries in flour to coat, then gently fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Ingredients for Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 113g Unsalted Butter
- 112g Cream Cheese
- 300g Icing Sugar, sifted
- 30g Lemon Juice
Method for Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat the butter until fluffy, then add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Gradually mix in the icing sugar and lemon juice until well combined. Chill for an hour before spreading on the cooled loaf.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your blueberry loaf with lemon cream cheese frosting!
