A moist and flavorful pound cake loaf bursting with fresh blueberries and bright lemon zest, perfect for any occasion and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) fresh blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in the lemon zest and vanilla extract until fragrant, then add the lemon juice.
  6. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the dry flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries using a rubber spatula, being careful not to crush them.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden and springs back when pressed lightly.
  10. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Grease and flour the loaf pan well to prevent sticking. Use room temperature ingredients for best mixing results. Fold blueberries gently to avoid crushing. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let the cake cool completely before slicing to set the crumb.
