Ingreadient
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (slightly softened)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries

- ¼ cup blueberry jam
Step by step
- First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 4 inch bread loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest, sugar, white whole wheat flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir until combined.
- Using a hand mixer, add in the softened butter. Mix until crumbly and until no large clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in the eggs, fresh lemon juice, and milk. Stir together.
- Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of white whole wheat flour. Then, carefully fold them into the batter.
- Transfer the bread batter into the lined pan. Smooth into an even layer.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the bread to fully cool before making the homemade frosting.
- Once the bread has cooled, make the vanilla frosting. Combine the vanilla frosting and jam in a small bowl. Frost, slice, and serve!
