2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate this into the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in fresh blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for approximately 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
