Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
Berries
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Or frozen, thawed and drained
Optional Garnish
  • Extra lemon zest and powdered sugar For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice; beat until combined.
  5. Stir in the Greek yogurt and mix well.
Baking
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
  2. Gently fold in the blueberries (tossed with a bit of flour to prevent sinking).
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  4. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling
  1. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar or add a drizzle of lemon glaze before serving.

Notes

Lightly coat blueberries with flour before adding them to the batter to prevent sinking. Do not overmix the batter; this keeps the loaf soft and fluffy. Store the loaf properly to retain its moist texture.
