Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9″x5″x3″ loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers all sides.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp baking soda. Set aside.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup melted butter, 3 eggs, and 1 cup sugar. Add 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp lemon extract, and 1 pack of vanilla sugar (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract). Mix thoroughly for about 2 minutes until well combined.
- In a small bowl, toss 1 cup of fresh blueberries with 1 tbsp of flour. This helps to keep the blueberries evenly distributed throughout the loaf.
- Gradually add half of the flour mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining flour mixture and continue to mix until all ingredients are blended.
- Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is baked to perfection.
- Prepare the icing: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp melted butter and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice until smooth.
- Once the loaf is completely cool, spread the icing evenly over the top. Let the icing set before slicing.
- Enjoy!
