Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if out of season)
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
