Ingredients
BREAD
- 1 tick (½ cup) salted butter or margarine, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1-2 teaspoons lemon extract (or 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest with 2 tablespoons lemon juice), optional
- 1 cup milk
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, tossed with 1 tablespoon flour
TOPPING
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray two 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until incorporated. Slowly add the milk and the lemon flavor (if using); mix to combine. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide batter evenly between the two loaf pans. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle over the top of the bread.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top starts to get too dark, after the first 45 minutes you can loosely cover the bread with foil until it's done baking.
- Remove from the pans and cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Aunt Mary always used 1-2 teaspoons of lemon extract, but this is optional. If you prefer, you can substitute with 2 tablespoons of grated lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of freshly-squeezed lemon juice. Alternatively, you can just omit this ingredient altogether. The bread is delicious even without the citrus flavor.
