Instructions

For poundcake:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs on low with an electric mixer.
  3. Add sugar, and butter and beat until smooth.
  4. Pour in milk and vanilla extract and mix just until combined.
  5. In a medium bowl toss blueberries with cornstarch. They should all be covered well, and set aside.
  6. In a separate mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  7. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the egg-sugar mixture with the mixer on low just until combined.
  8. Gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. The batter will be sticky!
  10. Make a small cut lengthwise about 1/2 inch deep in the center of the bread.
  11. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes (it may take you slightly more, depending on the oven)  or until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few breadcrumbs.
  12. Let the bread cool in the tin for 10 minutes, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Drizzle the cooled bread with glaze.
  14. Cut into 10-12 thick pieces and enjoy.
For glaze:
  1. In a small bowl add all ingredients and whisk to combine.
