A quick and easy lemon blueberry pound cake loaf with a moist, tender crumb and bright citrus flavor, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Line with parchment paper if desired.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula to avoid breaking them.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs and the top is golden and springs back when pressed.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Toss blueberries in flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep the crumb tender. Use fresh lemon zest and juice for best flavor. If top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Butter should be softened but not melted.
