Today’s post is a bit late.
I meant to have this made over the weekend, but that obviously didn’t happen.
After a VERY rainy week, Saturday and Sunday were glorious; far too beautiful to be inside baking.
Monday…I simply forgot.
Now here it is Tuesday, and I’m rushing to get my loaf ,and post, done.
I was actually really excited for this recipe. Not too complicated, and who does not enjoy a good lemon cake.
I was going to make it as-is, but Pinterest got in my way.
I found a delicious looking blueberry lemon cake, and look at that, I have an extra pint of berries in my fridge:)
My Lemon and Blueberry Loaf Cake is based on the recipe from Baking with Julia (page 252)

Lemon Blueberry Loaf:
Beat together 5 tablespoons of softened butter and 1 1/3 cups sugar (will be light )
add to that 4 eggs (mix well scraping down the sides of the bowl)
add in the zest and juice of 1 lemon
sift together dash of slat, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 3/4 cups flour
add to the egg mixture
add 1/4 cup milk (I used whole milk), and then gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries
Spoon into a buttered loaf pan and bake @350F for 50 – 60 minutes
Cool, slice, and…
Enjoy!

Pinterest got in the way! Ha.
Lovely loaf – blueberries are made for lemons…
Lemon and blueberries area a great combination!
I love blueberries and the comination with lemon is perfect!!!
That looks amazing! I might have to try it
I’d love if you linked up some of your sweets to my link party this week! Hope to see you there!
Pinterest has a tendency to do that – just get in the way – in a good way! Lovely looking loaf!
I wonder if doing it the old-fashioned way of creaming butter and sugar changed the texture much. The blueberries are a great combination and surely added some moistness! Nice cake!
Blueberry and lemon … awesome together. Your loaf looks beautiful and delicious! Catherine http://praycookblog.com/
Good idea to add blueberries. This recipe certainly needed a boost!
We loved this – I think the lemon juice added just the right amount of flavor
